Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
It seems to be a problem on the image side. I don't understand why, but
although it displays nicely in ArcView and Photoshop, the screen keeps
blank with Mapserver. (I had the impression that ArcExplorer-Java for
Mac didn't display it either.) But when I exported the TIF in ERDAS as
GeoTIF and loaded it into the app it worked.
