Problem with WFS server and some donut polygons

[ty_wilson@…]

I sent the following message to the list on June 17, 2004. The problem is still 
present in the DM Solutions Windows binary of Mapserver, version 4.4.0-beta3 so 
I thought I submit it as a bug report.

***************************************************************************
I've discovered a problem with serving up certain donut polygons through a
WFS getFeature request.  For most donut polygons, the data is served up
correctly.  The polygon is described as a <gml:Polygon> with associated
<gml:outerBoundaryIs> and <gml:innerBoundaryIs> elements.  However, if
the centroid of the donut polygon falls within the hole of the donut, the
polygon is described as an empty <gml:MultiPolygon>.

The particular problem that I'm having is with Bedford County, VA in the
2000 County Boundaries file downloaded from the National Atlas.  FYI, I'm
using the DM Solutions Windows binary of Mapserver, version 4.0.2. The
data are Shapefiles.

Can you please provide a small test case to reproduce this? (i.e. a small
shapefile + mapfile)

Zipped shapefile for wfs testing of some donut polygons

That would be for a GetFeature request.  The title for the attachment should 
read "some", not "dome".
