[R] 1.095e+09 for integers

I've had a very long file written out by R with write.table, with
fields of time values, converted from POSIXlt as.numeric. Among 2.5
million values, very few had 6 trailing zeroes, and those were output
in scientific notation as in the subject. Is this the default
behavior for long integers, and how can it be turned off (with all
digits for any integer field in write.table)? This is important to
interoperate with other languages through such text dumps, as some do
not expect scientific notation for integers, only for floats.
Cheers,
Alexy
