Dear MapServer-Devs,

while working with MS 4.10.3 I encountered a problem while accessing a shapefile which has a .qix-indexfile, which was out-of-date.
The index had less entries than the shapefile so MS (php4/MapScript and shp2img) died with
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: or
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev):

Thanks

not sure this is a scenario we want to explicitely support.

I think we should not let mapserver to crash in this case. It should provide a meaningful error message instead.

Does Mapserver crash with corrupt qix or not? If not then the issue can be closed.

No feedback, closing.
