Greg,

This error is related to a recent change made by Steve to the syntax of
the FILLED and ANTIALIAS symbol and label parameters.  See item#3 in the
following archive message:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/0110/msg00374.html

As you (and other users) upgrade to the latest 3.5 CVS version, you need
to change all occurences of FILLED and ANTIALIAS in your mapfiles and
symbol files to add a TRUE or FALSE value following the keyword.

e.g.

   Symbol
    Name 'circle'
    Type ELLIPSE
    Filled
    Points
      1 1
    END
   END 

becomes

   Symbol
    Name 'circle'
    Type ELLIPSE
    Filled TRUE
    Points
      1 1
    END
   END
