Wrong. You once again fell for displayed precision != stored precision:

Here is the example I use days ago:

   R> print( as.numeric( Sys.time() ), digits=20 )
   [1] 1307296635.9376249313
   R> 

whereas when I do it now without the digits= override:

   R> print( as.numeric( Sys.time() ) )
   [1] 1307477616
   R> 

Also:

   R> typeof( as.numeric( Sys.time() ) )
   [1] "double"
   R>
