This does not solve the problem.
The problem is that:
1. LinearRing design is incorrect in terms of creating it's empty
representation
2. Or, the usage is incorrect (passing null pointer for factory)
3. Or, implementation of construction is incorrect and it should accept
null pointers to factory (empty LinearRing does not need a factory).

These problems can apply to every geometry, I suppose so.
