[Smith, Michael ERDC-CRREL-NH]

Bob,

STYLE at the SYMBOL level was renamed PATTERN in 5.0 and removed in v6.
This is a dashed line and now the PATTERN is applied at the LAYER level
rather than at the SYMBOL.

You should remove the STYLE..END block from the SYMBOL and apply it as a
PATTERN at the LAYER level (see
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/style.html#style)
