I have done some more tinkering this morning. It seems it's the first polar
plot that has the unusual size. If I add a third plot the last two grids
match ok. So I added a further kludge to solve my problem, I added a dummy
plot before the two 'real' plots and this works ok:
polar.plot(0,0,labels='',showgrid=FALSE)
par(new=TRUE)
While it works it's not very elegant. This could use some further
investigation
