problem drawing shapefile (polygon/line)

[Tim Tsai]

Hello.  I am stumped on this particular issue running mapserver 4.4.1.
I have a shapefile of polygons representing some water features.
For some reason, I can get the map to draw if I use "TYPE LINE" but
not if I use "TYPE POLYGON" (no objects visible and no error messages).

A quick gdb session shows that the layer and shape drawing routines are
both reached.  shape->num_lines seems to be always 1 though everytime
I see it.  I am going to spend more time with gdb but am wondering
if anybody has any idea on what this is doing.

Thanks!

Tim
