#690: Trying to make a line with a point and a linestring crashes the server

 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.0
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  trunk        
 Keywords:           |

 I know people shouldn't be doing this but it didn't crash the server in
 1.5


 {{{
 SELECT ST_MakeLine(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-11.1111111 40)'),
 ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(-11.1111111 70,70 -11.1111111)')) As result
 }}}

 In 1.5 you get a nice harmless warning:

 {{{
 ERROR:  lwpoint_deserialize: attempt to deserialize a point which is
 really a LineString
 }}}

 In 2.0 your server crashes not so nicely.
 This is testing with the latest trunk.
