Mapserver bug?

[Jeff Portwine]

I've fixed the problem now, thanks very much for the pointer to that bug.
I am running php as a module as you said, however if I try to run in CGI
mode I get a mapscript error saying that this build can't run in CGI mode
due to stability issues.   So I have no choice but to run it as a module.
However, I read the bug report you gave me and somebody reported that hte
problem went away if you did not pre-load mapscript.so in your php.ini.
Others said that the problem persisted either way, but I gave it a try
myself... I took out the extension=php_mapscript.so  line out of my php.ini
and added the "ld php_mapscript.so" line to my scripts and now they work
perfectly.

Thanks very much!

Jeff
