thread safety and OGR

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have a client who would like to see OGR thread safety in MapServer
implemented.  The issue is recorded in Trac as:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1977

However, we are quite late in our release cycle and I can see some
ambiguity about whether this is really a bug fix, or really a new feature
in bug-fix-clothing.  So, I have a patch ready to make mapogr.cpp thread
safe using the normal Mapserver thread lock facilities.  How do we feel
about my applying it?

Best regards,
--
