[geos-devel] [Horst.Duester@bd.so.ch: AW: [postgis-users] Dissolve obsolete polygon borders]

[strk]

Are these bugs or normal administration ?
I mean: does it have to do with malformed/unsupported input geometries
or with bogus GEOS code ? Any hint on this ?

Horst, please, continue this on the mailing list.

There are two cases for this to happen, can you update your GEOS sources
and try again (a more explicit exception message have been introduced)
