R help - Apr 2014 - error from hist() with POSIXt 00 seconds for breaks of secs, mins, hours, or day

Hello,

When using hist() with a POSIXt date that has 00 seconds an error is
produced. For example
> hist(as.POSIXlt("2010-07-01 00:00:00"), breaks="mins")
Error in seq_len(1L + max(which(breaks < maxx))) :
  argument must be coercible to non-negative integer
In addition: Warning message:
In max(which(breaks < maxx)) :
  no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf
> hist(as.POSIXlt("2010-07-01 10:10:00"), breaks="mins")
Error in seq_len(1L + max(which(breaks < maxx))) :
  argument must be coercible to non-negative integer
In addition: Warning message:
In max(which(breaks < maxx)) :
  no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf

When adding one second, it completes successfully.
> hist(as.POSIXlt("2010-07-01 00:00:01"), breaks="mins")
> hist(as.POSIXlt("2010-07-01 10:10:01"), breaks="mins")
The error is produced when breaks is either secs, mins, hours, or day, but
does not occur with year, month or week.

I realise a histogram of one element is not useful, however, the errors
produced seem inconsistent. Is this expected behaviour?

This maybe useful:
