Comment (by mcayland):

 I've applied the correct fix to trunk for this (i.e. use full double
 precision calculation rather than using the BBOX cache to perform geometry
 calculations). I also fixed up ST_Expand() which was also doing a similar
 thing.

 Regina - please can you verify and update the ST_Envelope() documentation
 accordingly? The whole section about float4 should simple be removed,
 along with the reference to float4 in the first paragraph.

 Does anyone feel that this should be patched back to 1.4 branch?
