[Mapserver-users] Error rendering line shapefiles

[Michael Anderson]

Today I started getting a strange error with I try to render a shapefile of 
polylines. If I turn the layer on and either zoom out too far or zoom to the 
full extent of the map, I get this error:

msDrawShape(): General error message. Only polygon or line shapes can be 
drawn using a line layer definition

If I zoom in it works fine. Zooming out is also OK until the extent gets 
larger than the extent defined in the map file. Zooming to the full extent 
produces the error every time. The shapefile was created in ArcView and 
there are two shapefiles in the map file that were produced the same way and 
work fine. Any ideas on what is going on? My only guess so far is that there 
are some strange shapes in the shapefile and the error occurs when they are 
in the visible extent.

Mike
