[Chameleon] Anyone have file system corruptions on Windowsmachines running Mapscript?

[Delfos, Jacob]

Julien,

I don't think it's related to that, because our binaries don't show that
error (I have reproduced that error once, but it doesn't occur with DM
Solutions binaries).

For one of our servers, it turned out to be a hardware problem. But the
other one has had registry problems on several boxes. Maybe Windows
still requires occasional rebooting, just like it did 6 years ago :)

Jacob
