Alan,

You might want to check if my patch:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/changeset/9230

is introducing this problem for you.  I found I was having a similar problem
and I *suspect* there is a difference in the effect of the indentation
depending on swig version.

It may prove to be appropriate to back out my change, and for me to upgrade
my swig.  I'm not sure what version of swig I was using on the system in
question.

It might also be possible to restructure this code snippet in pymodule.i to
avoid whatever ambiguity is messing us up.

Best regards,
