As Sean mentioned before - it is probably due to multiple requests into
the same map/mapObj.
Starting in 4.2 it should be safe to clone the map to avoid this but it
does require more testing then what has been done.
If that doesn't work I know that GOMOOS (currently very busy so I'm not
sure they will reply) currently uses mod_perl but opens a new map for
each request to ensure that two requests do not conflict.
