Restricting size of image/raster for WMS and WCS request not working

[Vincent J. Troisi]

our MapServer installation seems to be ignoring these attributes for 
both WMS and WCS requests.
These values are set in the METADATA section for the map file, as in the 
following example:

ows_maxwidth "2000" # maximum possible width request, in pixels
ows_maxheight "2000" # maximum possible height request, in pixels


The upshot of this is we will not be able to limit the size of the raster
requested through the mapserver. Any thoughts why we might be
experiencing this problem? The mapserver configuration is
