 Reporter:  strk     |       Owner:  pramsey      
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.4
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  2.0.x        
 Keywords:  curves   |

Comment(by strk):

 The current code takes the num_points/2 vertex as the control point, which
 is just a guess.
 A better guess would be the vertex which the least difference in distance
 from last and first points. The ideal control point is equidistant from
 endpoints.
