[R] Vertical labels on axes overlap

Hello,
when using horizontal labels (default) in plots on x-axis, R by default
selects a subset of labels to plot so that the labels do not overlap.
However, when using vertical labels, all labels are always drawn, even
when they overlap. Is it a bug or do I have to adjust some magic parameter ?
the problem can be shown on these 2 tiny examples:
horizontal labels (default) [OK]:
> plot(1:100,axes=FALSE)
> axis(1,at=1:100,labels=rep("aaa",100))
(only a subset of labels is drawn)
vertical labels [THE PROBLEM]:
> plot(1:100,axes=FALSE)
> axis(1,at=1:100,labels=rep("aaa",100),las=2)
(all labels are drawn - and they do overlap)
Thanks,
Tomas
