[Mapserver-users] Nasty bug in labelcache?

[Paco Regodon]

I added a new layer to my map.  It is a points layer with wind data. I needed
to draw arrows showing wind direction, this way:


LAYER
  NAME wind
  DATA wind
  TYPE POINT
  PROJECTION "proj=utm" "zone=30"  END
  STATUS DEFAULT
  LABELANGLEITEM "DIR"

  CLASS
	TEXT '>'
	LABEL
		FONT "arial"
		TYPE TRUETYPE
		ANTIALIAS TRUE
		COLOR 0 0 0
		SIZE 40
		ANGLE AUTO
	END
  END
END

About 50% of the times, cgi returns an invalid image, or a text/html white
page. I tried to use different output formats (PNG, PNG24, JPEG), upgraded
gd2 and freetype without success.

When i added:

LABELCACHE OFF

Everything worked fine.

Is it a bug? Was i doing something wrong?

I am using this rpm's:

mapserver-4.0-1mdk
freetype-1.3.1-18mdk
freetype2-2.1.3-12plf
libgd2-2.0.22-1mdk
libgdal0-1.1.9-2mdk
