Steve,

Would you mind submitting this as a bugzilla bug report, ideally along
with a small map+dataset demonstrating the problem.  Something I could
include in the test suite (ie. < 30K of data or so).

I'm concerned that the patch may do undesirable things in some cases,
but I'd like to put it in place.  However, given the risks, I want to
keep a good "documentation and test" trail for the changes.

Note that msReprojectRect() is used for things other than just search
rectangles for features, so the -180 to 180 problem across the dateline
could be even serious than false positives in the search sometimes.

Best regards,
