[OpenLayers-Users] Bug in OpenLayers.Bounds ? [was: geo referenced image layer]

[miles]

Okay, I have traced the problem and it seems to be a bug. Apparently  
OpenLayers.Bounds wants the left and bottom to be negative and the right 
and top to be positive.   If both longs are negative or both lats are 
positive it does not work. 

works:
new OpenLayers.Bounds(-111.7, -40.3, 111.6, 40.4),

does not work:
new OpenLayers.Bounds(-111.7, 40.3, 111.6, 40.4),
new OpenLayers.Bounds(-111.7, 40.3, -111.6, 40.4),
