[gdal-dev] problems serving DTED data via WCS

I am trying to serve DTED data in its native format using WCS with 
mapserver 6.0.0 on Slackware 13.1.   If I serve the data as a 16-bit 
GeoTIFF or do a WCS 2.0.0 GetCoverage with a PNG output, the images look 
good.  But when I serve the same data using the GDAL/DTED driver the 
.dt1 file contains only 0 values for the data when using GetCoverage.  
Interestingly, shp2img gives me a file with nothing but 21074 (0x5252) 
for the data values.  In both cases the output of gdalinfo looks okay.

So it seems like mapserver is finding the data okay, but gdal (1.8.0) is 
not writing the dt1 file properly.

Am I missing something in the WCS configuration or is gdal confused?

                                                                 Thanks,
                                                                     Jim
