What do you have on line 696?  Is it a call to $gpoMap->SetExtent()?

The error means that the $gpoMap PHP object is corrupted or has been
flushed somehow by the PHP engine... I never saw this before... it could
be related to new variables management features (like reference
counting) added recently in PHP4... but I'm surprised because I know
that the module has been used without problems by others using
PHP4.0.4pl1.  

I'll keep a note about that bug and will try to have a look as soon as I
can (not sure when though!).

BTW, the following info could probably help in reproducing the problem:
- Do you use the default php.ini-dist settings or did you edit php.ini?
- Is PHP4's thread-safe and/or debug enabled?  (See phpinfo() output)
- What are your PHP configure options?
