[pstricks] MikTeX, pst-3dplot and psaxes bug (perhaps)

Just upgraded all pstricks stuff to the MikTeX most recent.

Was trying to get 3dplot to work.  The MikTeX database is missing
pst-vue3d.  In case there is someone else out there going through this,
the following worked.  Got the vue3d source from CTAN, copied it to a
new folder /texmf/tex/latex/pst-vue3d.  (Perhaps the sty file should go
here and the .tex file in /generic/pst-vue3d for consistency.)  Created
a new folder /texmf/dvips/pst-vue3d.  Copied 3D.pro in there.  Ran the
"MikTeX Options" program to "refresh the file name database" and viola.

With the upgrade I got the new pstricks-add dated November 2004 and the
tickstyle option of psaxes appears to have broken (pst-plot alone is
still fine).   The code

\psaxes[tickstyle=bottom](1.1,1.2)

causes

`pstricks-add' v2.25, 2004/11/13 (hv))) (foo.aux)
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \@nil

The 'top' option fails in the same manner.  The 'full' option works.

LaTeX gives the _next_ line as the source of the error. Ouch.

Or am I missing something?

Best regards,
Gene
