MapServer incompatibility with RHEL4/CE NTOS4.2

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

I've got a few more tricks in my back pocket :)

1) chrooted environment
2) using LD_PRELOAD

Keep your fingers crossed!

J.F., 

I did see you mention that in your original post, but considering the amount
of work it is to do that I guess I was hoping that you hadn't.
Either way you/this-thread do seem to have narrowed down how to reproduce
the problem without requiring specific hardware. Of course without any
solution as of yet ;-)
