Hi All,

I've found an annoying effect of one of the recent changes in trunk causing
msautotest (buildbot) to hang in the following command (in msautotest/misc):

shp2img -m grid.map -o result/grid.png

The process is running in an infinite loop with a significant cpu
utilization.

By breaking the execution in a debugger the call stack looks something like:

     libmap.dll!_gdCacheGet()  + 0x20 bytes    C
     libmap.dll!_gdImageArc()  + 0x751 bytes    C
     libmap.dll!_gdImageStringFTEx()  + 0x843 bytes    C

I'd wonder if someone who have better knowledge about the recent changes
could find out the reason.
I could see a couple of changes related to msLayerWhichItems which caused
issues, but I don't see one by one correspondence between those changes and
this problem.

Best regards,
