[OpenLayers-Users] Invalid bbox parameters being passed to Flickr

[Andreas Hocevar]

This kind of BBOX works with WFS servers, so the behavior you are
seeing is by design. Flickr does not handle BBOXes that cross the date
line at all. You can try to replace the 335 value with 155, and get
the same result. The easiest way to avoid this issue is to configure
your base layer with a {wrapDateLine: false} option.
