 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 1.5.2
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  1.5.X        
 Keywords:           |  
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Using PostGIS 1.5.1 on PostgreSQL 8.4.

 Geometry constructors from text for empty geometries return always an
 empty geometry collection. Example:

 {{{
 select st_astext(st_geometryfromtext('POLYGON EMPTY')),
 st_astext(st_geomfromEWKT('srid=4230;POLYGON EMPTY'))

 "GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY";"GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY"
 }}}
