[postgis-users] Question on transform.

Hi everyone.

I've been using the transform function, but I have some surprising 
results...

For instance, if I issue the following query:

select transform(geomfromtext('POINT(0 38)',4803),4326);

the result I get is:
       transform      
-----------------------
 SRID=4326;POINT(38 0)
(1 row)

ie, exacly the same point... This is obviously wrong, since the two 
GEOGCS's are different. For instance, the prime meridian is different..

Is it possible that I have some instalation problem? Was this a bug 
corrected in a later version?

Thanks for any help.

Bye, Luís
