mapserv segfaults

[John C Cartwright]

Hello Frank,

thanks for your suggestion, it seemed to be the key. I removed the
"--with-tiff" argument to mapserver config and recompiled GDAL and
mapserver. Seems to work fine now.  When I get a chance, I'll go back
and see if I can add the SDE support back into mapserver.

Thanks again to you and the others on the list for all the help!
