Stefan,
For most folks that are using the CGI version of MapServer, we never get 
to see nice object names like ms_newprojectionObj :)  So I assume you are 
using PHP Mapscript or some other variant.  Is that right?  I can't help 
you there, but I can help with any settings in your map file which is 
where I set all my projection info.  If you have a map file, send it our 
way, or portions of it.
