#1545: ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology creates invalid geometries

     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.0
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  trunk

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 When simplifying a closed linestring by a tolerance higher than the max
 extent dimension such closed linestring becomes formed by 2 equal points,
 which makes it invalid.

 I belive the whole point of preserving topology should be preventing such
 occurrences.
