Description (last modified by )
When using MapServer in a multi-threaded application (such as an ASP.NET application) ORG is not thread safe during operations that access the same data. MapServer seems to be a lot "more" thread safe with shapefiles, which leads me to believe that the issue is with OGR.

This issue has been fixed when GDAL RFC 6 was applied. But I'm sure it was not the only problem to be handled. > There needs to be a "big lock" around OGR in MapServer similar to the one > already implemented around GDAL. It should be considered as a makeshift for now, and the usage of the static variables in OGR should be reconsidered in the future.

I have done some validation with a client provided test suite and things seem good.
