OGR/OVF Issues

[Pagurek,Debbie [NCR]]

Further to the problem that we were having on our windows server, using
OVF to connect to SQL Server...

For the record, I copied an older version of gdal12.dll (dated
3/23/2005) into the cgi-bin directory and everything works fine. Seems
to me that something funky is going on with gdal12.dll dated 7/19/2005.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Daniel,

I am not aware of any reason the behavior would be different with
MapServer 4.4 and 4.6.  However, with memory corruption issues (a
possibilty) unrelated changes can affect crashing.

Well, it is hard to know from this what version the GDAL is, but it is
certainly recently dated.   You could try upgrading to GDAL 1.3.1
but it is somewhat of a long shot for fixing the problem.
