I'm just taking a wild guess here, but to get blocking sessions it's
possible the query of v$session would have to go to the other node(s) of the
RAC cluster for session information, since the blocking session may be on a
different node. 60 seconds is the time RHEL RAC takes to time out if a node
cannot be reached, which could explain that exact timeout.
Why the query works sometimes and not others, I don't know. Bug?
