Comment(by jng):

 I did some digging on this matter with a 2.2 branch copy.

 The offending line is here:

 http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/branches/2.2/MgDev/Web/src/ApacheAgent/ApacheAgent.cpp#L153

 This method is throwing a MgInvalidArgumentException with the error id
 MgInvalidStringConversion

 The root location where this exception is thrown is at
 MgUtil::MultiByteToWideChar

 http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/branches/2.2/MgDev/Common/Foundation/System/Util.cpp#L287

 The mgmapagent_handler() function does not have an exception handler for
 any MgException (or derivatives) and because of this the
 MgInvalidArgumentException that is thrown is unhandled and derails the
 Apache Web Server process

 Perhaps we should have an exception handler for MgException here, and
 write out a bad request string response?

 Perhaps something similar is happening with the ISAPI and CGI handlers?
