Changing linelength for rotated captions in LaTeX

I have some postscript figures that I'm rotating.  The captions are
rotating, too, but LaTeX still thinks the lines should be \linewidth long 
instead of \textheight.  Is there a simple way to change a length parameter
just for the caption?

If it helps, the code looks something like this:

\begin{figure}
{\rotate{90}
\psfig{height=4.0in,figure=foo.ps}
\caption{I am a very long figure caption.  I would like to have lines as
long as the page is high.}
} % end rotate
\end{figure}

					Thanks,
