We're running MapServer with a map that has just one layer, political boundaries from a SHP file. This layer is using a basic EPSG:4326 projection, and the map itself is using EPSG:3857. The resulting images generated by MapServer CGI queries have horizontal lines at certain latitudes:
Beyond this problem, the map is okay and lines up perfectly with the Open Street Map in OpenLayers. The MAPFILE we're using:
MAP

"wms_title" "Map Server"
"wms_enable_request" "*"
"wms_srs" "EPSG:3857"

I've verified that the proj.4 EPSG file has the proper definition of EPSG:3857, and don't understand what's happening. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
Check whether your shapefiles are valid and contain no unclosed polygons. Apart from that it is better for your performance to reproject your shapefile first.
This can be done with eg ogr2ogr: ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:3857 outfile.shp infile.shp
