SIZEUNITS in Perl Mapscript

[Agneta Schick]

Hello,

Switching to MapServer 4.4.1 has almost solved my problem.

To recapitulate: I need a symbol (circle) with SIZEUNITS kilometers
that will scale accordingly to all zoom depths.

LAYER
   ...
   SIZEUNITS kilometers
   SYMBOLSCALE 3400000
   CLASS
        LABEL
           MAXSIZE 800
        END
        STYLE
           SIZE 1
           SYMBOL 'circle'
           OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 240
        END
   END
END

This works upto a certain depth. This level is reached when
the circle radius ~ kilometers of the scalebar
(e.g. a circle with radius 100 km will scale correctly
as long as the max value of the scalebar is > 100)

I was expecting to be able to zoom so far in that the circle is no longer
visible because it is 'outside' the map. Is this not possible??
