[mapserver-dev] Problem with metadata

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  I have done some quick tests removing/setting/saving the metadata but 
could not reproduce the cases that you have seen.  I could not also 
locate something obvious in the code that could explain the behavior you 
see. If there is  some way I can  replicate it locally with some 
dataset/map, I am will to look into it more.  Note that all tests I have 
done are with the 5.2 version.

Best Regards,
