If it works with the CGI version I guess you need to dig deeper in the C
code of MapServer/MapScript :(

The Python release is not as actively maintained as PHP/Perl versions,
so there might be a change in the code that broke something in the
Python version (Shouldn't SWIG take care of that?)

You could try running a PHP or Perl script analogous to yours to discard
some possibilities. 

At what point does it break, at saveImage, draw, or before?

PS: Try replying to the list as well, because 'given enough eyes, all
bugs are shallow' :)

Hello, once again!

It breaks down exactly at the call to draw...
I also thought that SWIG would do this for me but it doesn't seem so :(
Do you know whether it is possible to run a logfile for mapscript?

Cheers,

Sven
