Also +1, as we use ST_Within quite a bit in our major apps over here
at the cracker factory and we've had to downgrade back to 1.5.5 for
the moment as it was causing our users to see some noticeably odd
results. I think the code paths hit by the issue are commonly used
enough that another point release is justified. (Plus, and somewhat
selfishly, I'd like to see the performance improvement from the
caching that this code runs through!)
