Hey,

I got some weird behavior while trying to display labels with mapserver 5.4.
With mapserver 5.0.3 these labels show up nicely:

But with mapserver 5.4, these layers are shown at scale about
350000-200000, but they will disappear at higher scales, so nothing
can be seen:

This could'nt be collision conflict either as they have enough space to fit in.
Is something changed in the way mapserver treats annotations elements?

Data source is a polygon shapefile: I hope that (polygon type) is not
the problem?
The layer itself in the mapfile:

	LAYER
		NAME alevikAnno_1
		GROUP HYBRID
		METADATA
			"wms_title" "alevikAnno"
			"wms_srs" "EPSG:3301"
			"wms_extent" "355000 6360000 754000 6660000"
		END
		STATUS default
		TYPE annotation
		DATA "kohanimed/alevikud_1"
		LABELITEM "TEXTSTRING"	
		CLASS
		MAXSCALE 1333333
		MINSCALE 200000
			LABEL
				TYPE truetype
				ANTIALIAS true
				FONT "arial"
				COLOR 255 255 255
				SIZE 9
				priority 6
				force false
				ANGLE auto
				OUTLINECOLOR 25 25 25
				POSITION cr
				BUFFER 1
			END
		END
        END
