4.4.0 build ok, but 4 python mapscript tests are failing

Dear Sean,

OK.

> Can you try to delete the python/build directory and try again?

1 - tried deleting => same problem

2 - removed the whole mapserver folder and untar a fresh one => same
problem.

See below __exactly__ (from history) what I did.
I'll keep searching. Just let me know if you want me to try something.

>From what i saw, tests create jpg, png and fail on creating other
images. More facts when i find information.

OK.

Kernel 2.6.3-15mdk
gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
Python 2.3.3

Thanks a lot for the proposal. But my firewall doesn't allow IRC ;-<
