I have found what is different between 4.x and 5.0. It is not using the
dynamic sizes provided with the URL. I had 'SIZE 600 600' but this is replaced
by the sizes required for the actual page being rendered. In 5.0 this ability
seems to have been lost, so I can't dynamically size the map window.

http://home.lsces.co.uk/lsces/mapper/display_map.php is the currently working
example
