Regina,

Thanks for the pointer.  I could execute that create cast function
but that didn't eliminate the error.  Following a comment in the ticket,
I now write
select ST_Box2d(ST_Transform(ST_SetSRID(ST_Extent(the_geom)::box3d,4267),3395)) from 
and this works without error.  Is this what you would expect?
