<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all -<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to work on issue #170, a memory leak when performing the intersection of a valid and an invalid polygon. My question is: how do I get an invalid polygon? I have one in a file in WKT format, but when reading it in, GEOSGeomFromWKT detects that's invalid and returns a NULL pointer. Likewise, the WKB function has similar logic. It's too robust :-)<BR>
<BR>
Is there anyway quick way around this, without changing the source to skip the validation step in GEOSGeomFromWKT?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
