Lee -
OK, here's some hypothesizing, which is about the best we can do from
afar.
Your map request works for certain bounding boxes, but not for others.
It appears to both reliably and repeatedly work on the good bounding
boxes, and reliably and repeatably fail on the bad ones. The layer is a
PostgreSQL layer, so each map-rendering request produces a database
query to retrieve data.
I have never tried DEBUG logging to see if reports database queries, but
if you have control over the database server you can turn on query
logging in the postgresql.conf file. As a fallback you can look at the
map bounding box and synthesize the queries by hand, but that is prone
to error.
Something should be different between the query that results in a good
map and the query that results in a bad map. Do both queries actually
work? Does the data returned look different in any notable way? What
happens?
BTW, what does "mapserv -v" from the command line return?

Steve,
I can't get shp2img to work. It throws an error for "shared connection
not available". I have tried this with 2 different bounding boxes (one
that works and one that doesn't) and I get the same results. Any
suggestions on this?
This is an IIS only solution. Their sys admins have something serious
against Apache... For some reason. My guess is lack of knowledge.

Shp2img works ok on the mapfile? Does apache work or is this IIS only?
