This looks to me like the kind of error you'd get if there were two
components to the system, an image-reading script (called
$HTTPD_HOME/cgi-bin/imagemap under NCSA HTTPd's sample implementation)
and a map file (called imagemap.conf under NCSA HTTPd's sample
implementation).  You could also get this kind of error if you have a
version mismatch so that the (presumably) old version of the imagemap
script (script? the NCSA version is a C program) is failing to send
headers required by the new version.

But you do get this with other imagemaps?  I don't seem to recall
this.  I think this is an option that gets enabled in Netscape
Preferences and/or you need to specify the map properly in the HTML.

Hope this helps (or somebody who uses imagemaps a lot has a better
idea...).
