OGR STYLEITEM AUTO line pen styles broken in MS v6.0

Description

I have found that it is nearly impossible to use the pen styles from OGR STYLEITEM AUTO since starting to use version 6.0. For example, MS will look for ogr-pen-5 and find it in my symbol file, but I can't use PATTERN N N END anymore in the symbol definition. It gets overwritten by the STYLEITEM AUTO if I define the PATTERN in the STYLE inside of the CLASS of the LAYER. I can find no easy work-around for this except to have a large map file or use an older version of Map Server. I like the newer version of MS because of the better rendering. Is this something that will likely be fixed, or is auto-styling going away?

Um... sounds like this side-effect was completely overlooked when the PATTERN stuff was moved the the CLASS STYLE level. Not sure what to suggest...

How difficult would it be to set up the class styles to override the OGR styles if class styles are defined? I might be able to assist in coding if I am pointed in the right direction.
