http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0 is broken, sometimes?

The following request sent by OpenLayers : ​http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0?LAYERS=basic&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-135,0,-90,45&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

gets the response "loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause references driver GD/JPEG, but this driver isn't configured."

This seems to have started last week sometime. It doesn't seem to be anything in my code, because it is occurring in older versions of our website that didn't have the issue.

The following, which is the recommended by OpenLayers also causes the same error message: ​http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0?LAYERS=basic&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=45,-90,90,-45&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

on the Discuss Mailing list Steven Woodbridge notes as follows: "OK, interestingly that url works fine for me! But if I SHIFT-refresh a bunch of times I can get that error. So it seems that the load balancer is hitting one/some? server that is miss configured."

"Also if you change the url to request image%2fpng it will still generate the error because the mapfile has defined in it and OUTPUTFORMAT with GD/JPEG defined but the version of mapserver installed on the server is NOT built with GD/JPEG support.

The mapfile needs to be updated or a new version of mapserver needs to be installed with GD/JPEG support add to the ./configure command when it is built. "

I shall try to identify which of the rotation is misconfigured and update it.

I've copied the MapServer CGI binary (and two libs) from 'sphere' over to 'webextra', please check if it's fixed.

Looks to be working like a charm. Thank you.
