Moritz,

File a PROJ.4 ticket and I'll look into it. I need to establish if the
problem is a systematic one in how I translate the parameter from EPSG,
or if it is an incorrect local override or if there is a problem in the
EPSG database itself.  I suspect there are two "towgs84" forumulations
in the EPSG database with different handedness and I'm not properly
differentiating them.

Best regards,
