Re: [mapserver-users] did something change in reading in empty TAB files?
Bart, The Invalid Block Type message comes from the MITAB driver in GDAL/OGR. GDAL 1.3.2 is quite old, is there any way you could switch to a more recent version of GDAL? Based on Jeff's tests this error doesn't seem to happen with MS 5.0.2/GDAL 1.5.0 ... it may also be that the problem is a side-effect of something that changed in MapServer (and would now be fixed in 5.0.x), but the first thing I'd suggest is using a newer GDAL.

The key points in my test mapfile are: ... EXTENT 14 34 15 35 UNITS METERS ...
