Hello,

I was looking at this and come to the following:

msLayerGetShape takes two parameters ot identify a shape, a tile and a
record number. If those numbers do not have to uniquely identify a
specific shape across msLayerOpen and msLayerClose calls then this is
going to be a trivial issue to solve, at least for the PostGIS layer
data type. However, talking to FrankW on IRC I am not sure that this
is a safe assumption to make, he mentioned this causing problems in
some usage scenarios. I would appreciate if someone could shed more
light on this.

Regards,

Jerry Pisk
