#1133: GEOSDistance raises floating point exceptions for boundable geometries

Component:  Default       |    Version:  main
 Severity:  Unassigned    |   Keywords:
--------------------------+--------------------------
 GEOSDistance C API function (and likely underlying C++ implementation) is
 causing floating point overflow exceptions to be raised for certain
 distances for boundable geometries but not for points.

 Test case demonstrating this: https://github.com/libgeos/geos/pull/485


 This was encountered in pygeos:
 https://github.com/pygeos/pygeos/issues/404


 For example, calculating the distance between 2 points does not set
 floating point exceptions, whereas calculating the distance between 2
 lines or polygons that are the same distance apart does raise these
 exceptions.
