 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.0
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  1.5.X

 The following returns a polygon instead of a curvedpolygon:

 select st_astext(st_linetocurve(st_buffer('POINT(-78.8994666666666667
 43.9228166666666667)'::geography,5000)::geometry));

 However, the following returns valid curved geometry:

 select st_astext(st_linetocurve(st_buffer('POINT(-78.8994666666666667
 43.9228166666666667)'::geometry,5000)));
