[Chameleon] MapNotes Map Update Problem

[William Bronsema]

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately I don't see anything out of the ordinary either.  The only
time I have run into a similar problem was on a Linux box and it was a
permissions issue with the tmp directory.  I've never had any permission
problems on Windows. ;)

If this is still a problem, zip your application (template and mapfile) and
send it to me off list and I can take a look.

Regards,
Bill
