Plotting in double precesion [message #22295]

I am attempting to plot hourly data, but with true julian days on the
xaxis. Well, this takes me beyond single precision floating point
accuracy. My data points have values like

2.45178850e+06
2.45178852e+06
2.45178854e+06

but the plot procedure simply clumps them all together into a single
bin, with a value of 2.45178850e+06!

Is there anyway to get PLOT to acknowledge double precision floating
point values? If not, is there a good way to plot dates on the xaxis
without using full julian days (my data is really in modified julian
days, or JD-2400000.5)?
