Mapserver 44 image display problem

[Brent Fraser]

Mark,

There is a bug filed for a related problem (2003/1/20):
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=270

And an enhancement request a few weeks ago:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1015


I wonder if new bug reports should automatically be posted to the [user?
dev?] mailing list?
