[OpenLayers-Users] Help with Box Handler

[Heidt, Christopher M.]

I'm attempting to use the Box Handler to allow the user to draw a bounding box on the map. (code below)
the problem im having is that the feature that ends up being created is suppose to be a polygon with the same bounds produced by the box,
but what i end up with is an extreamly tiny polygon at 0,0.
I'm using a google base so i thought maybe the projection was the culprit, but i've tried transforming the bounds and nothing good seems to come from it.
any ideas?
 

var control = new OpenLayers.Control({

    draw: function () {

        this.box = new OpenLayers.Handler.Box( control,

            {done: this.notice},

            {keyMask: OpenLayers.Handler.MOD_SHIFT});

        this.box.activate();

    },

    notice: function (bounds){

        var geom = bounds.toGeometry();

        var feature = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(geom);

        _bboxLayer.addFeatures(feature);

        _map.zoomToExtent(bounds,true);

    }

});
