[postgis-users] Does PostGIS 1.0RC1/2 work with MS4W/Mapserver 4.4.1?

I am pretty sure that is the same issue. Until now I tested several 
installation with always the same result: No mapserver will display 
points coming from a PostGIS 1.0.0RC1 or newer.
I would really be interested whether this is caused by Mapserver or 
PostGIS. Since the 0.9.x work and there are also no problems with other 
geometry types like polygon or line, I doubt that the problem is caused 
by the mapserver.

Regards,
Dirk
