 To verify, try the following statement:

 select ST_AsSVG(geomfromtext('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POLYGON((10.099877929668
 48.862883054592,10.181369018541 48.856106812965,10.268353271476

 it will fail though it shouldn't (the Geometry is valid), and it will kill
 postgres. This happens on Postgres 8.4 w/ postgis 1.4 and also on Postgres
 9.0 and Postgis 1.5
