No anti-aliasing for cartoline symbol?

[William K]

Don't know what to say.  For the record, I build MapServer from source,
v4.4.1 now (I can't remember when I started using cartolines), on Mac
OS X.  I just realized that you say 4.5 - is that the CVS dev version?
Maybe some new change broke cartoline antialiasing.

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
