Oliver: This is a bug. I filed a ticket and have already fixed the problem in
the main SVN
trunk. See http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2335. There is no workaround
but the
change is simple. In maplexer.l, around line 258 change:
<INITIAL,URL_STRING>projection { return(PROJECTION); }
to:
<INITIAL,URL_VARIABLE,URL_STRING>projection { return(PROJECTION); }
and rebuild.
