hi,
using:

'--with-zlib' '--with-pgsql' '--with-gd=/usr' '--with-png' '--with-jpeg'
'--enable-wddx' '--enable-dbase' '--with-regex=system'

___postgis 1.0.0
i do this and it works fine:
DATA "the_geom from capolygon using srid=-1, using unique oid"
anything more complicated fails.
even if i just add parentheses it failes:
DATA "the_geom from (capolygon) using srid=-1, using unique oid"
when what i actually want is something more complex
DATA "the_geom from (select the_geom, blah, blah2 from capolygon,othertable
where capolygon.colA = othertable.colB) as foo using srid=-1, using unique
oid"
the last query works fine from the psql command line. however as soon as i add
any special characters: ' " ( in the DATA line it won't work.
does anyone have any idea what's going on? thanks,

here's my simple data statement with ()'s. if i remove the ()'s it works.
DATA "the_geom FROM (capolygon) using unique gid using srid=-1"
here's the error output:
