Umberto,

I've made a few fixes in mapsymbol.c with failing to allocate
symbols in msAddImageSymbol() and msAddNewSymbol() in mapsymbol.c:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/changeset/6318

These were brought out by the msautotest/misc tests which demonstrated
a crash.  It highlights our need for additional regression testing
for symbol services which is very thin right now.

Best regards,
