Mapserver demo crash

I'm just getting started with mapserver and was hoping to be able to play 
around with the demo (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html). I'm 
reasonably certain that my system (XP Pro SP2) is configured correctly, 
because I can run some of the other simple examples I've found on the 
Mapserver home page (I downloaded the 4.4.1 binary and set it up according 
to the readme file). When I tried to run the demo (from the index.html 
page), however, IIS crashed with a 502 error, so I went to the command line 
and tried the following:

C:\Inetpub\Scripts>mapserv 
"QUERY_STRING=map=c:/inetpub/wwwroot/workshop/itasca.
map&layer=lakespy2&layer=dlgstln2&zoomsize=1&program=http://localhost/cgi-bin/ma
pserv.exe&root=http://localhost/workshop&map_web_imagepath=c:/inetpub/wwwroot/tm
p&map_web_imageurl=http://localhost/tmp&map_web_template=itasca_basic.html"

As soon as I run the command, however, an error window pops up with the 
following error signature:

AppName: mapserv.exe     AppVer: 0.0.0.0      ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180    Offset: 00018fea

which I have to assume is the cause of the 502 error.

Has anyone run into this problem before? Or know what the cause might be? Or 
know if I'm just doing something wrong? (If you don't have XP or can't 
reproduce the problem I can post the stack dump.)

Thanks in advance,

Matt
