Marc,

The mapserver source for FWTools 1.1.3 would have been pulled from CVS
on January 4th or 5th.  I see Steve made a change in mapfile.c related
to tileindex/cgi handling on December 29th, so this is definately in
FWTools 1.1.3.  I'm not sure if this is the only change you are speaking
of.

I just tried "shp2img -m rot_out.map -o out.jpg" on msautotest/gdal/rot_out.map
after changing the IMAGETYPE value to jpeg, and it produced a valid jpeg
file.  So I don't think jpeg output is generally broken.  Perhaps there is
some issue with your map, or your configuration?

Folks have run FWTools on Win2003 (I don't know the revision) though I don't
know whether the mapserver was used there.
