(sound of hand slapping forehead) Thanks!! That did the trick. Looks
like the default ysize was just smaller than it was looking for
(I had tried setting to 24.0 at one point wtih no joy)
Now back to my next attempt at pre-empting a referee's comment...

My guess is that you have either a POSITION keyword set
on your plot commands, or you have !P.POSITION set. That
will really cause !P.MULTI to go crazy. :-)

Something like
device,ysize=28,yoffset=1
after the set_plot,'PS' command
could solve your problem. The sizes are in cm, fit them to
your paper size.
