Right, I am trying to nail down where the error is coming from.  If I
generate the image using a "mode=browse" request the image returned in the
web page is perfect.  The mangled image occurs only when requesting images
with mode=map.

So, What is Mapserver doing differently during a "map" request?
	*It is not writing the map to a file.
	*It is outputting a raw image, instead of an html page.
	*????????

I can open it in Microsoft Imaging and the it looks like the image is 
interlaced, but did not get all of it written to the image file. It has 
all of one interlace drawn about only half of the second interlace drawn.

The image hangs PhotoShop.

 &gt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;Thanks to some great assistance =
from Adam Ryan, of Linn County, I have
 &gt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;been able to narrow down my =
issues with the mapserv cgi on 
 &gt; Win2k+IIS.&nbsp; We &gt;&gt;are using the =
latest 4.2 build. 
 &gt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;
 &gt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;Our problem has been occurring =
when we send a request in &quot;map&quot; mode.&nbsp; 
 &gt; The &gt;&gt;request will fail with a &quot;CGI =
Error...CGI application misbehaved&quot; 
 &gt; error if &gt;&gt;there is more than one layer =

work just fine in &quot;browse&quot; mode.
 &gt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;
 &gt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;I am wondering if anyone in list =
