Thanks for the pointer. Looking into the config (not done by me) I
found:

grep map httpd.conf
LoadModule imap_module        modules/mod_imap.so
AddModule mod_imap.c
Alias /tmp/  "/tmp/mapserver/"
<Directory "/tmp/mapserver/">
# AddHandler: allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers",
# If you wish to use server-parsed imagemap files, use
AddHandler imap-file map

So the latter is suspicious. Next question is if I should
switch that handler off as we have the GRASS "mirrors" map:
http://grass.itc.it/index.html

On the apache docs I read "This module provides for server-side imagemap
processing."

I assume that this has nothing to do with our map, right?
Switching "AddHandler imap-file map" off should be fine?

Sorry for the naive questions,
