     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  critical  |   Milestone:  PostGIS 1.5.4
Component:  postgis   |     Version:  1.5.X        
 Keywords:            |  
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 The following sql correctly results in "POINT(0 90)".
 select ST_AsText( ST_Intersection( ST_GeomFromText( 'POINT(0 90)'),
 ST_GeomFromText( 'POINT(0 90)' ) ) );

 If I change the geometry to geography it fails:
 select ST_Intersection( ST_GeogFromText( 'POINT(0 90)'), ST_GeogFromText(
 'POINT(0 90)' ) ) ;
 ERROR:  Coordinate values are out of range [-180 -90, 180 90] for
 GEOGRAPHY type
 CONTEXT:  SQL function "st_intersection" statement 1
