Comment (by strk):

 Confirmed, still a problem. From 52 polygons to 48. Input is found to be
 valid.
 This is an ugly bug occasionally popping out in different situations.
 For example the geom in bug #219 also trigger a silent "eat-up" of a
 component (well, input is invalid in that case).

 Another case (giving more informations about how bad this bug is) is
 TestBufferExternal2.xml, which contain a test in which you get an EMPTY
 geometry
 from a buffer operation depending on -ffloat-store. Check buildbot for the
 history
 of this, or build w/out -ffloat-store on a 32bit system and run make
 check.
