php/mapscript bug - URGENT

[Jeff Portwine]

Before you go to the trouble of installing a cgi version of php, etc, one
thing you might try is to not pre-load the php_mapscript.so or
php_mapscript.dll library.    In other words , remove the  "extension
php_mapscript.so" (for linux) or php_mapscript.dll (for windows) line from
your php ini file, and instead put a "dl php_mapscript.so/dll"  line in your
mapscript file.    This doesn't fix the random WebImage bug for everybody
but it does seem to fix it for a lot of people.   It fixed it for me, and
it's a very quick simple thing to try that might correct the bug for you.
