------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 Creating a table with a GIST index on the GEOGRAPHY(POINT,4326) column,
 and then inserting hundreds rows, PostgreSQL will crash every time at row
 284 (changing the order of the rows will affect at which row the crash
 occurs -- appears to be dependent on cumulative data size). If I remove
 the index, the crash never occurs.
