Thanks to some great assistance from Adam Ryan, of Linn County, I have been
able to narrow down my issues with the mapserv cgi on Win2k+IIS.  We are
using the latest 4.2 build.  

Our problem has been occurring when we send a request in "map" mode.  The
request will fail with a "CGI Error...CGI application misbehaved" error if
there is more than one layer set to default or requested through the URL.
The request will also fail if there is one layer with multiple classes set
to default.

All of the test .map files will work just fine in "browse" mode.

I am wondering if anyone in list land has had a similar experience, or if
anyone who uses Win2k+IIS can recommend web server settings to check or a
way to get more debug information out of the mapserv cgi.  The standard log
file reports the bad requests as normal execution. 

Thanks very much for all your continued help.
