Why does my WFS filter not work?

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Gregor,

  I don't see anything wrong with the request. I also tested locally the 
latest Mapserver svn with a local postgis layer using the same kind of 
request and I did have the expected result. (From what I can see, the 
layer in question is a postgis layer, is this correct ?)
If possible, please send me a "small" dump of your layer (shape would be 
good) and a map file and I can load it locally and do the same kind of 
requests to see what is happening.

Best Regards,
