Comment(by strk):

 Valgrind reports memory leaks when running the cu_surface unit test.
 In turn this one points to the serialize routing which is clearly _not_
 serializing: lwfree(tser) isn't enough to cleanup the product of
 tgeom_serialize() because the returned object is not a single memory
 allocation.

 There are no memory errors (other than leaks) shown when running the unit
 test, evidently because the serialize/deserialize routine are consistent
 with themselves, but when it comes to put the serialized version into the
 database it cannot work, right ? But maybe we're never putting it in there
 ?

 Now I realize that the memory errors I were remembering you fixed already
 (in #665)

 Anyway I think for the purpose of this ticket it would be good if you
 could fix all the memory leaks reported by valgrind while running the unit
 tests for tgeom. Doing that should reveal the problem with lack of
 documentation :)
