MapEdit hang when loading a map (tutorial)


Steps to reproduce:

1. Select File menu
2. Open map
3. Browse and select tutorial.map
--->MapEdit try to load the map without success.

see http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/netbin/nsavard/bugmapopen_image1.png

You can see in the error log file below that there is a MapServer error when
loading the symbol file.  Also note that MapEdit does not find the preview.map
file. I checked in the given directory and the file is there.

If I do a reload in the browser, a pop up window comes out with a message saying
that the ".qix" files can not be opened.  But the map is successfully opened
with an empty object browser (see the following image).

If I do a reload again, the map is opened correctly with the object browser
filled in (see the following image).

I worked on Redhat 7.2 and Netscape 7.02.  I tried this on Redhat 8 and Mozilla 1.
