Issue 70: ST_NPoints Crashes with Curves
http://code.google.com/p/postgis/issues/detail?id=70

New issue report by robe.... at cityofboston.gov:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1) SELECT ST_NPoints(ST_LinetoCurve(ST_Buffer('POINT(1 2)',3)))
What is the expected output? Either a warning or a number


What do you see instead?
It crashes - kills Postgres backend on Windows 2003 1.3.3 - have to restart
the service

On OpenSUSE 11 with latest 1.3.4SVN - I get this lovely message

SELECT ST_NPoints(ST_LinetoCurve(ST_Buffer('POINT(1 2)',3)));
server closed the connection unexpectedly
	This probably means the server terminated abnormally
	before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: WARNING:
terminating connection because of crash of another server process
DETAIL:  The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the
current transaction and exit, because another server process exited
abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
HINT:  In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and
repeat your command.
Failed.
