[Geoserver-devel] WMS requests returning blank depending on bounds

Hi everyone,

I am having issues with GeoServer (1.6.1 and 1.6.2) returning blank tiles for certain requests. I know crossing the date boundary creates problems, but even after adding code to prevent that, I still see blank tiles.

This request works:
http://sigma.openplans.org:8080/geoserver/wms?exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&height=512&width=512&layers=topp:states&request=GetMap&srs=EPSG:900913&format=image/png&transparent=false&tiled=false&version=1.1.0&bbox=-2.001747083166E7,0,0,2.001747083166E7

This one does not (already adjusted to avoid world bounds):
http://sigma.openplans.org:8080/geoserver/wms?exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&height=512&width=512&layers=topp:states&request=GetMap&srs=EPSG:900913&format=image/png&transparent=false&tiled=false&version=1.1.0&bbox=-2.001747083166E7,-2.001747083166E7,2.001747083166E7,2.001747083166E7

Cropping more from all sides helps:
http://sigma.openplans.org:8080/geoserver/wms?exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&height=512&width=512&layers=topp:states&request=GetMap&srs=EPSG:900913&format=image/png&transparent=false&tiled=false&version=1.1.0&bbox=-1.901747083166E7,-1.901747083166E7,1.901747083166E7,1.901747083166E7

The only difference is the bounds, but all three should be legitimate ?

If you know anything about this behavior, I would very much appreciate your input (if I don't hear anything I'll open a Jira issue, but I would like to look into workarounds for the time being).
