Annotation layer doesn't draw

Hi list,

I'm a beginner map server user and I couldn't figure out why the following
Annotation layer will not draw on a linux machine (mapserver 4.10 and php
mapscript). It works fine with map server version 4.6 and php mapscript on
windows ...

LAYER
  NAME "Populated Places"
  GROUP "Places"
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  STATUS ON
  MAXFEATURES 5	
  DATA "assets/mapdata/newlayers/social_cultural/place_name/nw_pop_places"
  LABELITEM "NAME"
    CLASS
	 NAME "Labeled on Map"
	 LABEL
		 TYPE TRUETYPE
		 FONT "verdana-italic"
		 PARTIALS FALSE
		 POSITION CC
		 SIZE 8
		 BUFFER 5
		 COLOR 0 0 0
		 OUTLINECOLOR 217 199 163
	 END
    END
END


The layer's ref in the map file causes the whole map not to draw. If I
remove the layer everything else works fine.

On the server the log gives me:
[Fri Jun 08 17:39:23 2007] [error] [client 67.101.5.35] PHP Warning: 
[MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named 'Populated
