[mapserver-users] How to label a feature once.

[Paul Moen]

I figured it out.  The images I am using are tiled so there are 4  
images server by Mapserver with each labeled one time, which gives the  
appearance of 4 labels on one feature. So, Mapserver is working  
exactly the way it should and I am not.
