[pstricks] Broken algebraic Postscript coordinates

As of pstricks 1.24 and 1.25, the special coordinate form (*x f(x))  
seems to be broken. It does work in pstricks 1.22 (patched to fix  
\psDEBUG).

Example.

\usepackage{pstricks,pst-plot}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\listfiles
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(6,4)
\def\myfn{6*Ex(-x/2)*sin(x)}
\psplot[algebraic]{0}{5}{\myfn}
\psaxes(0,0)(-.5,-.5)(5.5,3.5)
\SpecialCoor
\psline(*1 \myfn)(*4 \myfn)%draw line from (1,f(1)) to (4,f(4))
\end{pspicture}
