This could be a parsing error on line 0 (top of map file)...
unfortunately sometimes the error received from the parser is not very
meaningful.

However, if you say that this happens only on the 4th or 5th request
then it can't be the case... are you sure that there is nothing that
changes in the logic of your script between the 4th and 5th request
prior to opening the map file?

If you are sure that this same map file can be loaded by the same script
4 times but that on the 5th call it can't load, then it must be a memory
leak or a problem of this type.  If you can then please send me a copy
of your map file and script and I'll try to reproduce and track the
problem here.

Have you tried using a relative path to open the map file:
  $map = ms_newMapObj ("wm12.map");
