[mapserver-users] Problem querying MapInfo TAB files (5.6.3 CGI)

Hello,

Has anyone else come across an issue with Mapserver CGI returning the 
wrong records from a MapInfo Tab file when using NQUERY?  Or know what 
might be causing it?

I've got a couple of installations of 5.6.3 where this is happening, the 
files affected contain POLYGON geometries which Mapserver draws 
correctly, and when I do the nquery on a point with a tolerance 
sufficient to cover a nuber of polygons I get the right number of 
records found but the wrong field data.  As far as I can tell the fields 
are always coming back in the order in which they are stored in the 
MapInfo data table.

If I convert the files to Shapefile format with OGR2OGR then the queries 
work correctly.
