I see no one from Refractions has commented one way or the other. It would be nice to get Paul or one of his technical folks to at least bless the patch before modifying their module. I think someone from that group still hangs out here occationally...

Hi,
do you think this bug could be fixed before 4.8 gets out?

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1587

It's been there for a month and it looks like a trivial patch to me. I
have tested the patch on 4.6.2.

Best regards,
Umberto
