     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 1.5.2
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  1.5.X

 To reproduce this problem, simply create a table with a geography column
 and populate it:

 {{{
 create table geography_crash (geog geography);
 insert into geography_crash (geog) VALUES (geography('POINT (1 2)')),
 (geography('POINT (1 2)'));
 }}}

 and run this SQL query to get the crash:

 {{{
 analyse geography_crash;
 }}}

 Note that you need to have at least two rows to get the crash.
