[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Partly solved Labels Problem

[Skweda O'Bomsawin]

Hi list!

I finally partly solved my label problem.  Actually, I bypassed it by using
POSITION UR instead of UC.  The upper center position seems to cause a
problem with a postgis line layer.  The workaround is to use another
position like upper right which gives me satisfactory results.

Have a nice day!

Try removing the "POSITION UC"
