Compare the HTML of the generated pages. I bet in the latter case, you
have some kind of doctype that's different -- possibly a strict HTML
doctype. If so, you might not have a CSS rule like "html, body { height:
100% }" -- and in XHTML, that might mean that your map ends up with no
height. (You can check this with map.getSize() -- in fact, checking that
first might be your best bet.)
