[mapserver-users] GetCapabilities response being truncated

[John Callahan]

I'm still struggling to find the cause of this strange problem.  Has 
anyone successfully run x64 MapServer (from 
http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/) on Windows?  Has anyone ever seen the 
4096 character truncating problem before?   Thanks for any help you can 
provide.
