Shapefile named "units" causes MapServer to crash

[keon@…]

Not sure if this is a bug or just a reserved keyword problem, but I am unable to
use a shapefile named "units" until I change its name.  After naming it
"hunits", it worked.

Here's the error I receive:

You probably need to add quotes around the value "units" to tell the parser that
it´s a string and not the identifier UNITS:

 LAYER
   ...
   DATA "units"
   ...
 END

If you already had quotes then we´ll need a copy of your mapfile to reproduce this.

Oops, I should have thought of that.  Yes, adding quotes fixed it.  Thanks Daniel.
