[Chameleon] tiff hang

[Paul Spencer]

Ken,

to debug drawmap.php, you need to grab the URL from the image in the 
chameleon app and load it directly in your browser.  You should then see 
any error messages or debug output directly.  Often, problems with a 
broken map image are related to error messages (or notices) being output 
before the image contents, thus creating a corrupt image.

If nothing shows up immediately on viewing the drawmap.php url, you can 
then start to add some debugging code (echo) to drawmap.php to try to 
discover what is going on.

Cheers,

Paul
