Hi strk,

I've just done a fresh install with PG 8.0b2 and PostGIS 0.9. I loaded
in an 8,000 geometry shapefile, build an GiST index, and tried a few
queries without any problems. I also ran through the test_estimation.pl
several times, and again didn't experience any crashes.


Kind regards,

Mark.
