[geos-devel] Topology Exception with nested collections

[Obe, Regina]

I'm actually not sure if this is a bug or not, but I always thought in a perfect world that if I union two valid geometries, I should not get errors.  I get a bunch of these in my torture tests (both against 3.1.1 and 3.2.0 GEOS) and verified they  pass the ST_IsValid test.

One of these cases stripped down to its bear minimum - gives error :
NOTICE:  TopologyException: side location conflict -9 50 --.  Anyway thought I would mention it in case its not a trivial thing.  I doubt anyone has monsters like this anyway.
