i had a problem on php 4.4.4 where imagerotate was not found. The 
Dokumentation says it is supportet when GD supports this. In my case the 
hoster took a GD without supporting this function.

The bad thing is that you don't see any errormessage until calling 
captch-script direct. So there should be a possibility like
if(function_exists(imagerotate)) ...
just to make it work on each server. It's only a little bugfix.
