 I have this linestring:

 I create a single-sided buffer of -9E-10 (-70m) with flat endcaps and
 round joinstyle.
 This should create a polygon left of the line.
 But it creates a buffer as in the attached image. You can see that in the
 right corner the polygon is also at the right of the line. This happens
 only at sharp corners.

 I've mentioned this on the mailing list already.
 I tried searching for an existing ticket but couldn't find it.
 I don't know if this is also a problem with JTS, probably it is.
