R-beta: PostScript tick marks in 62.1

[Matthew R. Nelson]

I should have added that the plot was generated with log="xy".  On my 
computer, this simple example recreates the problem:

> postscript("tmp.ps", width=6, height=6, family="Times") 
> plot((1:10)^2, (1:10)^3, log="xy") 
> dev.off()

With this simple plot function, I get 2 x-axis tick marks and 1 y axis 
tick mark, but the expected number of axis labels.

Sorry for the ommission,

Matt
