MapServer crashes on multiple REQUIRES?

Fri Oct 21 15:09:08 EDT 2005

Hello,

I was trying to migrate a MapFile from 3.6.6 to 4.6.0, and suddenly the
MapServer CGI would die, and the web server return a 500 ...

I tried upgrading to 4.6.1, didn't help ...

After some fiddling around, I've tracked it down to the use of "REQUIRES".

It looks as if I can only have ONE layer with a "REQUIRES" ... The minute I
have more than that, mapserver seems to crash.

This is a problem, as the mapfile has ~380 layers, and lots of REQUIRES :)
As mentionned this mapfile works fine on 3.6.6 ...

Oh, and I just tried rendering using shp2img, and I get a segfault ...

Just wanted to check here before I file this as a bug, anybody run into
this? Have a quick solution?

Thanks,
