Ha Bart,
I downloaded that zip file and indeed this version doesn't show the
crashing behaviour. So as far as I know the problem is solved in version
4.2 for both Linux and Windows.
It's a pity the 4.2 windows binary is not yet available in the standard
mapserver download pages...
Kind regards,
John.
