Is the declaration of being unable to reach the data is something like the 
following ?

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.2.0" xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ogc 
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/OGC-exception.xsd">
  <ServiceException code="NoApplicableCode" locator="mapserv">
msWFSGetFeature: WFS server error. FLTApplyFilterToLayer() failed
msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. GetLayer( SELECT NAME,UNIQUE_KEY,CAPITAL,POP_RANGE 
FROM popplace) failed for OGR connection `data/popplace.shp'.
  </ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>

If so, that's OK I guess. We could be more tolerant with leading spaces, but 
this isn't a crash, but an error message which gives some hint on where things 
are wrong.
