Marco,

I am looking for a bug report with:

  o A minimal map file that can be used to reproduce the problem.  Strip out
    all other layers, fontlists, etc not required to reproduce the problem.
  o If the raster file is large, cut out a small chunk and submit this small
    dataset with the bug report in stead of a large file.
  o The bug report should have the exact url triggering the problem, assuming
    that the problem with was mapserv.exe, not a mapscript script.
  o Make clear how I will know the errors is occuring (presumably the error
    message from msDrawShape()).

The objective is to give me something I can unzip, and then run mapserv
at the commandline with to reproduce the error with at most a minute or
two of fiddling to adjust things to my local environment.

Most bugs languish on the vine because reproducing the original problem is
too hard (or even just *seems* like it might be too hard).

Best regards,
--
