Csharp/MapScript

[Tamas Szekeres]

Abe, Ian

I am not too far with this issue (I would be helpful if anyone could
describe that in more detail), but I suppose not to maintain mapscript
objects between requests, and also call dispose on the same function where
the object was created.

One should consider mapscript classes as thread unsafe.
