Mapscript getExtent() for postGIS Layer returns strange result

[Michael Schulz]

Hi,

i have a similar problem here (not mapscript, but mapserver as wms 
server), on different servers, running mapserver 4.6.1, PG 8.0.3 / 
Postgis: the getCapabilities xml shows strange extents of postgres 
layers (in latlon and other srs), far beyond the correct extent. Same 
behaviour: examining the extent on the db gives corrects results.

For now i used the extents from the db in the wms_extent parameter.

Cheers, Michael
