[Mapserver-dev] Errors due to a getline function defined in cgiutil

Hi,

Howard Butler sent this to me

I saw this as well (on Linux RH9) and commented out line 37 in
cgiutil.h with no bad consequences.  I'd enter this as a bug in Bugzilla
except that it prevents compilation and needs more immediate attention.

cheers,
Sean
