No clue as to why ...

FWIW, ACD Classic can show a thumbnail but freezes when you try to open it. IrfanView for Windows 3.85 can open it ok, reporting it as 400x600x8 BPP GIF LZW Interlaced w/ 22 colors. Mozilla/Firebirds won't opne but sees its size correctly. Fireworks 4.0 won-t open it -- "unknown type" which suggests that the header that defines it as a GIF is somehow ... different. Don't know enough to sleuth this one but maybe someone else will

Veddy strange ...

Pardon my reply to my own post, but I am starting to run out of ideas.  

I generated a test image (attached) from a map file containing two layers
using the command line.  

It is viewable in Internet Explorer but all my other image software reports
an error when opening it.  Has anyone had issues with the .dll's included
with the 4.2 binary?  I am pretty confidant they aren't the problem, but at
this point I am grasping at straws.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated, unfortunately this is a
make-or-break project for Mapserver within the U.S. Army Alaska.  If I can't
resolve my issues, it will be a big the foot-in-the-door for the ArcIMS
camp.
