Re: script failing at same line

It's a web app that draws maps in a browser. Sometime it will generate a seg fault. The command should not take long, so if there is some script construct that will throw an exception after a few seconds if the command has not completed I could signal the user that the map will not draw and to reload the page.

    $map = ms_newMapObj($mapfile);

    The command creates a new mapscript object.

And PHP is hanging somewhere inside that constructor? Is this in a web context or a command-line context? Or both?
