 I was doing a spatial query with ST_Clip and I neglected to put in the
 GDAL_DATA environment variable before hand.

 The query crashed the service and logs show this:

 {{{
 ERROR 4: Unable to open EPSG support file gcs.csv.

 Try setting the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to the

 directory containing EPSG csv files.

 2012-04-07 08:03:57 EST LOG:  server process (PID 3144) was terminated by
 exception 0xC0000005
 }}}


 After registering the variable things work fine -- so might be one of
 those null character issues similar to what we had with null proj4text
 strings.

 This is on a windows 2008 R2 64-bit running 64-bit PostgreSQL/PostGIS
