I cannot reproducing from shapefile. I exported into shape using
ogr2ogr and added this layer into the mapfile.
The Bounding-box is shown correct now for the shapefile and still wrong
for the layer in postGIS.

Postgis is version 1.1.0 on postgres 7.4.7 with geos 2.1.1

Well, as noone had this problem before, it seems that I am the only
one...

Thanks for looking into this.
