Dear all

I try to format labels on axis as standard ones does not look well, but I 
am not able to make axis.POSIXct to work. here is an example

x<-seq(as.Date("2008-1-1"), as.Date("2009-9-6"), by="2 months")
y<-rnorm(11)
plot(x,y) #not very sophisticated axis

plot(x,y, axes=F)
axis(2)
axis.POSIXct(1, at=x, format="%m/%Y") # no axis

The same is on R2.10.0, 2.10.dev and 2.11.dev

Is it a bug or am I missing something?
