[mapserver-users] wrong tileindex path make mapserver 6 crash

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Oliver,

No, a crash is not normal, so we should try to fix it. I made a few 
tests and was unable to reproduce the issue, can you reproduce it with 
the CGI or with shp2img (i.e. without FastCGI)?

If you could package a small testcase to reproduce the issue with the 
CGI or with shp2img (with mapfile, exact request to trigger the issue, 
etc.) and create a ticket then we'll try to have a look.

Daniel
