<p class="MsoNormal">It worked fine in Ubuntu 13.10 using Mapserver version 6.2.1-3 and generated a map properly. It no longer works in mapserver 6.4.1-2 in Ubuntu 14.04. Now I get the error message<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">mapserv(): Web application error. Parameter 'qstring' value fails to validate. msValidateParameter(): Regular expression error. Parameter pattern validation failed.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">None of my underlying data or map files have changed. I’m completely mystified as to why this is happening. I hope I don’t have to revert to Ubuntu 13.10, but I have a backup in case I need to.<o:p></o:p></p>
