[mapserver-users] Polygons wrapping when projected into spherical mercator

Hi all,

I'm having one of those brain dead moments. I've run into this in the 
past but can't for the life of me figure out how I fixed then.

I have a polygons layer of the world countries in epsg:4326 and it 
displays fine until I project it into spherical mercator them the 
polygons that touch the date line get wrapper all wonky.

You can see the problem here:

shpdump data/world/world_Dissolve | head
Shapefile Type: Polygon   # of Shapes: 275

File Bounds: (    -180.000,     -90.000,0,0)
          to  (     180.000,      83.633,0,0)

This works fine on my old Debian Lenny box but seems to have heart burn 
when I upgraded the system.

How do I fix this?

Thanks,
