Projection trouble

[Arnulf Christl]

Hi guys,
this one is still open. The answers until now didn't help, everything
suggested works perfectly fine. No one out there with an idea?

Its the same data with the same projection in the same client with the
same request, only one is a mapserv401, the other a mapserv441. In
EPSG:4326 both maps fit on top of each other perfectly, in EPSG:31466
they show an offset. You can have a look at it here:

http://www.mapbender.org/testbed.html

Zoom in to see the post code areas, you'll understand what I mean. Find
the tech details of the installation at the end of this mail.

I suspect PROJ4 of doing things differently in 401 and 441.

Many thanx,
Arnulf.
