<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I got a multilinestringM shape that I loaded into postgis
without problem (LRS). Then I used the linear referencing functions to create the
segments and curves tables from the tables (BTW, these linear referencing
functions rock!!!!). Now, my problem is that when I tried to join the
information on curves into the segments table using the overlay function, it
failed to detect several curves. Note that both geometries (segments and curves)
are generated from the same base lines (LRS), therefore all curves should
overlay one or more segments. I am guessing I encountered a precision problem
on GEOS but I wonder whether my guess is correct and if there is any solution (maybe
snaptogrid).  </span></font></p>
