[mapserver-users] Expression segmentation fault

Hi,

Osm2pgsql can create invalid polygons with self-intersections and/or three-vertex A-B-A rings. It might be good to run MakeValid or simply find possibly invalid features with IsValid and delete them and then see if Mapserver gets happy.  Actually, run IsValid and save the faulty geometries somewhere before correcting or deleting them. It would be nice to catch them if they happen to be the reason for the crash.
