#2423: [REGRESSION] ST_LineToCurve gets semicircle wrong

     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.4
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  2.0.x

Comment(by strk):

 I think the problem is with 2.0.x only considering distance from
 circumcenter rather than also angle between segments composing it. If
 angles were considered, like in the 1.5.x times, it will be clear that the
 last sement (the horizontal one at the bottom) would form a much smaller
 angle than the precedent ones.
