----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mattybe         |       Owner:  robe 
     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  medium          |   Milestone:       
Component:  tiger geocoder  |     Version:  2.1.x
 Keywords:                  |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Geocoder seems unable to handle "Saint" spelled out in a street name if
 the underlying data is stored as "St" (note that the first result is in
 Long Island)
