You can run MapServer at the command line by passing your query string 
as an argument:

   ./mapserv "QUERY_STRING=map=/path/to/mapfile&mode=...."

(note the quotes are important)

and you can run the same in Valgrind using:

   valgrind ./mapserv "QUERY_STRING=map=/path/to/mapfile&mode=...."

See the Valgrind docs, if you have a debug build, you can get it to 
launch gdb when it encounters an error, you can have it report leaks, etc...
