[OS X TeX] Pdftricks problem

[Vince McGarry]

Sorry---here is the entire file.

%&program=pdflatex
\listfiles
\documentclass[10pt]{article}

 \usepackage{ifpdf}
 \ifpdf%
     \usepackage{pdftricks}
     \begin{psinputs}
         \usepackage{pstricks}
         \usepackage{pst-plot}
     \end{psinputs}
 \else
     \usepackage{pstricks}
     \usepackage{pst-plot}
     \newenvironment{pdfpic}{}{}
 \fi
 
\begin{document}
 \begin{pdfpic}
%     \psset{xunit=50pt,yunit=50pt}
     \begin{pspicture*}(-1,-4)(5,7)
     \psaxes[showorigin=false,ticks=all,arrowscale=1.5]{->}(4.5,6.5)
     \end{pspicture*}
 \end{pdfpic} 
\end{document}

Agreed that it should work, but the 3 is clearly clipped on the horizontal
axis on my system. I have tried from the command line with the same result
and then tried different switches with pstoeps. I think that the -g switch
is calculating the correct bounding box, at least the pdf of the graphic
appears to be complete in acrobat, even though it still looks clipped in
Preview, TeXniscope, and TeXShop.
