You get this error when drawReferenceMap() fails to load the base
REFERENCE map IMAGE.

Make sure that the file specified for REFERENCE -> IMAGE in your .map
file exists, and that it is in a format that your version of GD
understands, i.e. GIF for GD < 1.6, PNG for later versions.  (Could also
be JPEG if you have GD 1.8 compiled with JPEG)
