220	Potential problem with recursive calls to msBuildPath()	dmorissette	jlacroix	"{{{
There are a few places (at least in mapraster.c) where we find recursive 
msBuildPath() calls using the same temporary buffer, i.e.
  msBuildPath(szPath, msBuildPath(szPath, .., ...), filename);

This can result in unpredictable behaviors on some platforms since the function 
contains a sprintf() call that would end up reading from and writing to the same 
string buffer.

I suggest that we create a new msBuildPath3() that takes 3 path components (2 
paths and a filename) and combines them and then replace all occurences of 
recursive calls in MapServer with this new function.

Julien, please talk to me when you're ready to implement this.
