Comment (by nicklas):

 I have found some serous trouble but I hope we can fins some way around.

 this is not working with the pach:

 select st_distance('LINESTRING(9 5, 10 10, 10 20 ,9
 25)'::geometry,'LINESTRING(6 17, 8 17)'::geometry);

 select st_astext(st_shortestline('LINESTRING(9 5, 10 10, 10 20 ,9 25
 )'::geometry,'LINESTRING(6 17, 8 17)'::geometry));

 I don't know how I can have missed that case, it is very common. This is
 bad news but I think there should be some way around to find.
