MapServer incompatibility with RHEL4/CE NTOS4.2

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Correct, I never suspected the compiler.  I suspect the mapserver code, for
some reason, isn't interacting properly with glibc ...

I'm going to try and explore the possibility of chrooting mapserver and
linking it against a separate older glibc.  CentOS comes with glibc 2.3.4
... If I can install/compile link mapserver and it's dependencies on CentOS
against glibc 2.2.5 (the version from RH 7.3) ... Then that might give us a
clue as to what the problem is.  That's a fair emount of work though, so I'm
going to revert back to my older servers for now :(

Then if the libs aren't the same the bug is in the libs, no?
This doesn't point to gcc being the problem.
