ok, i'll continue to report odd and crashing behavior, on the off chance
that
some of it might turn up some kind of problem, but i'm at the point now
where
i've achieved enough stability that my current problems are pretty rare and
difficult to boil down to a concise, reproduceable test case.  my latest
issue
is different enough that i'll start a new e-mail thread for it.

besides trying to take tomcat out of the picture (which i like having there
because it's a realistic portrayal of the app that i'm trying to stress
test,
but it does complicate debugging), for the purpose of multi-threaded
testing,
i wonder if a way of even taking java out of the picture would be useful? 
why
is there no pure C or C++ mapscript?  it seems to me that if you really
wanted
the highest performance map server, that would be the way to go.  could you
somewhat fake this with with libmapscript.so and mapscript_wrap.c that are
in
the mapscript/java directory?  or have SWIG generate code for C++?  or has
creating a libmapserver.so that's independent of mapscript been considered?
although i tend to think that the level of functionality provided by
mapscript
would be nice, but keeping it purely within native code and not having to
deal
with JNI would have advantages.
