GIF output in Mathematica 3.0

I'm trying to write a mathlink program (on unix in c) that will output a
specified GIF.

For example, in the program I say:

MLEvaluateString(lp,"Display[\"full/path/name/testout.gif\",
Plot3D[Sin[x]Cos[y],{x,0,2Pi},{y,0,2Pi},DisplayFunction->Identity],\"GIF\"];");

When I run the program, the gif is not created. However, if I explicitly
start the kernel and call the function:

Display["full/path/name/testout.gif",
Plot3D[Sin[x]Cos[y],{x,0,2Pi},{y,0,2Pi},DisplayFunction->Identity],"GIF"];

the gif is correctly created.

Why is this happening, and (more importantly) how can I get the mathlink
program to correctly create the gif?

$Version = HP-UX PA-RISC 3.0 (October 4, 1996)
$ReleaseNumber = 0
