Mark,

The error stack reset for FastCGI support is in MapServer 4.4.1.  It
is version 1.141.2.1 of mapserv.c (calls msResetErrorList() after
completing - or failing - an OWS request).

I don't know why you are running into problems on Win2003 that
didn't occur on Win2000.  I will say that the build process is complex
including the need to past the fastcgi client library (as noted in the
wiki) and care must be taken to build with MSVCRT.DLL.  I haven't
tried with VC7, but I think that would be imprudent.

I think the precompiled binaries for GD are fine as long as you
build with VC6 and /MD.

Best regards,
