R-alpha: Bug[?] in axis(.) -- using format(.) for labels can give nonsense

[Martin Maechler]

To see what I mean,
try

 x11()
 par(mfrow=c(2,1))
 x <- 1:100
 plot(x, sin(pi*x/100))
 options(digits= 20)
 plot(x, sin(pi*x/100))

The problem really is in  axis(.) which uses  format(.) for the axis
labels.
I think  the result of axis(.) should NOT be influenced by

	options()$digits.

Should I change it?
