[mapserver-users] Problem with MapInfo TAB file

[Daniel Morissette]

I don't remember the exact details, but I think we fixed a similar issue
in the OGR/TAB driver after the 3.5 release.  The issue was in the OGR
driver, not in MapServer itself... but anyway you'll need a new
MapServer build using the latest GDAL/OGR library.  You seem to be
running on Windows, so try downloading the 3.6 executable on our site,
it shouldn't have this problem any more:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/mapserver-3.6.2-win32-php4.2.1-libwww.zip

The 3.6 win32 binaries on the UMN website may also contain this fix but
I can't confirm that since I don't know which version of GDAL/OGR they
use.

Mapserver refuses to open some TAB files... When I active the layer for a specific tab file mapserver just starts consuming 100% cpu and never gets anywhere.
