[mapserver-users] PERL MINSCALE MAXSCALE display control

[Daniel Morissette]

Joe, Steve,

Also note that there was a bug in the 3.5 release of MapServer (that was
there since the beginning of times) which caused this type of problem
with some .qix files.  This has been fixed a little while ago and the
fix is present in the current CVS version.

Try deleting your .qix file if you have one, and if the problem goes
away then you have run into this bug.  You'll have to get a recent
3.6-dev build in which this is fixed.
