#1818 new enhancement

Description (last modified by sdlime) 

I feel it would be nice if the MAXFEATURES object worked for attribute queries
as well as for spatial queries.  If an attribute query were performed with a
very generic expression resulting in a large result set (>500 records), then
there is a lot of work for MapServer to do.  For my purposes, I would like to
let users of my web-mapping application know when they've entered a poor
attribute query (one with a large result set) and not require MapServer to draw
all of the results.  I do not believe having this feature in MapServer is a
requirement for many people.  Therefore this enhancement should be a low priority.

Will try to revisit for 5.4. It still comes up every once in a while and there are probably other bugs related to it.
