Not in this example on my Solaris 2.6 R-1.1.1 system:

plot(1:10, 1:10, axes=FALSE)


Two possibilities spring to mind:

1) F is a variable that has a value interpreted as true.  (In R you
need to use FALSE to be safe.)

2) x is not a vector but a classed R object and you are picking up
a plot method that does not support axes=FALSE.

This shows the importance of the advice in the FAQ on bugs reporting:

`Please include an example that reproduces the problem, preferably the
simplest one you have found.'

and the lines around it.
