PHP DrawReferenceMap

[Berend Veldkamp]

OK, it took some time, but here's what I found out:
Both PHP and MapServer are compiled with GD 1.8, PHP is 4.03, MapServer is a
nightly build from about a week ago.
The PHP module is probably not what's wrong, I get the same error
(msDrawReferenceMap(): GD library error. Unable to initialize image.) when I
use standard mapserver.
Any thoughts?
