Andrea,

sorry, but I don't know about that. If you use php_mapscript (which I do) you 
will get error messages in your browser. I never used the plain mapserver cgi 
to generate maps, so I don't know if the behaviour you're describing is 
correct or not.
Someone else on the list should know, though. Hope someone responds to your 
message. Otherwise, resend it as a new plain question to the list so others 
will read it :-)

Cheers,
Vincent.
