[mapserver-users] Very strange problem doing a query and hanging on MS 6.4.1

Ans not related to apache, I can still reproduce this at the 
commandline, although it is harder to find a case that fails now that I 
have set TOLERANCE and TOLERANCEUNITS.

Is there a way to limit the number of features like MAXFEATURES for 
drawing, only for queries?

I see in the code map->query.maxfeatures but I'm not finding a way to 
set that via CGI or mapfile?
