[pstricks] Broken algebraic Postscript coordinates

[Michael Sharpe]

Well, I found that I had ignored the part of the documentation which  
says to enclose the function expression in braces if it has internal  
parentheses. So, all went well once I replaced the \psline entry with

\psline(*1 {\myfn})(*4 {\myfn})
