Have you checked the attribute table for the data layer, and are you =
SURE that there is indeed a label string for that polygon?

Subject: [Mapserver-users] polygon lable problem

With the layer below, Mapserver seams to have a problem labeling concave =
polygons. If you look at the image link below, there is one concave =
polygon in Canada that is not labeled. Is there any way to get mapserver =
to label the polygon.
