The Locate widget makes an assumption on the formatting of the projection returned by MapServer. In 4.4, MapServer has started to return projections prefixed with a "+" so what was previously "init=epsg:4326" is now "+init=epsg:4326". This is causing checks for reprojection to fail.
fixed in CVS in 2.1, needs to be in 2.0 as well.
