Hi Stephan: This is an increasingly asked question but at the moment I don't have a good solution or workaround, it's just not possible at the moment. There's a ticket already filed on the subject and it will be addressed in 6.0.
Are you in a position where you could apply a patch to deal with the problem if one were available?

Mainly this are contour-lines from waterdepth. The double values have 32 decimal places and mapserver tries to render them _all_ along a contourline. This does not look nice... Is there an option to trim the values with a dedicated mapfile-parameter, e.g. where a prinft-syntax can be used to format the values? The shapefiles are generated automatically so adding another column with trunc()ed or round()ed values is no option. Are there any options to format label-values/strings? I have not found anything in the docs.
