Jason,

The warning could conceivably be causing a problem in the mapserver
context, but I doubt it.   To fixup the error, you should be able to
just use gdal_translate to copy the geotiff file.

eg.

gdal_translate top10c0.tif top10c0_new.tif

Are you sure that mapserver is build "--without-tiff"?  I think I said
"--without-libtiff" last time which would be wrong.

Best regards,
