It is not the default setting for par("mar") that changed.
There are other device specific changes that occurred in 2.7.0,
including, for some devices (eg. pdf and bitmap), the default device
dimensions.
See the bullets in the NEWS file under "SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE
CHANGES" and "GRAPHICS CHANGES" for 2.7.0. It could be something subtle,
having to do with any font/symbol selections and/or sizes (eg. cex.*).
You still did not provide a small reproducible example, which would
better help us help you. The fundamental error message suggests that you
need to either reduce one or more of the par("mar") settings to reduce
the margin size, increase the device dimensions, or alter some other
attribute. This is further complicated if you might be using layout() or
par(mfrow/mfcol) to create a matrix of plots.
