Jeez, need to read more carefully, thanks for the test case. Would help to track in bugzilla at any rate...

Hi,
I had some problems with legend mode when I was worked with fastCGI some 
months ago. I had to stop this job for a time, but I can retake it again 
now.
I'm testing the last CGI MapServer version. When i want use the legend 
template option MapServer crashes in some cases (and isn't fastCGI).
I atach a test case to reproduce (mapfile, legend template and url) this 
problem.

The MapServer version:

/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.10.0-rc1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG 
OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE 
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS 
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Valgrind results:

valgrind /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/mapserv 
QUERY_STRING='map=/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mapserver/maps/prueba.map&mode=legend&layers=a+b&mapext=458350+4613016+704030+4858696&mapsize=350+350&map_legend_template=../templates/legend_pruebas.html'
