road (line) problems

[imap at chesapeake.net]

I dont know about the mapscript stuff...  Are you attempting to use it
on WinNT?   I have been meaning to play with it, but not free time to 
play with it.  

I will take a shot at your first problem....  

In maputil.c, msDrawShapefile() change:

if(msOpenSHPFile(&shpfile, map->shapepath, map->tile, filename) == -1)
return(-1);

to:

if(msOpenSHPFile(&shpfile, map->shapepath, map->tile, filename) == -1)
continue;


See if that fixes your problem rendering roads.  I am guessing it may be
related to
TILEINDEX, if you are using it.   In the later versions (> 3.3_003), Steve
added a 
compile time option if you define IGNORE_MISSING_DATA in the project settings
or 
Makefile to get the behavior or the previous mapserv3.2 code.   I got bitten
by 
that one about a week ago.  Try it and let me know if that does the trick,
otherwise
I dunno the answer.  I am rendering roads with MapServ3.3_003, and no issues
other than the one I describe above.  If you get the roads to render, I would
like
to compare notes about another possible bug which may or may not exist in
3.3_001,
so please sent me email when you succeed.

Hey Steve, How bout that 3.3_006?  I am all snowed in (over 12" in DC, yeah!)
and would like to try the new labelcache changes ;)
