This work better. Some comments:

1) The lower bound should be probably rounded down to the next multiple
of the interval. This is the behaviour when integer_ticks_only is off.

2) the patch did not apply so I used fromdos on Base.pm and it applied.
Maybe my MUA has converted the patch to UNIX lines.

3) I would suggest the default for max_y_ticks to be the same with or
without integer_ticks_only (the manpage suggests so). A specific value
could be used for max_y_ticks to denote the correct behaviour (no max).

I hope upstream will consider your patch.

Thanks a lot for working on this issue,
Bill.
