Comment:

 Not anymore as of r4618 trunk and r4619 for 1.4 branch ;)

 It was another non-NULL safe array iterator in the PostGIS code - perhaps
 we need another acronym for this (YANNSAI)?

 I guess we got lucky before in that another change altered the memory
 alignment temporarily so that going off the end of the array didn't break
 things, and so the problem wasn't really fixed before. The applied patch
 should resolve this for good though - please test and feed back.


 ATB,

 Mark.
