 I keep seeing this error when using the geography data type in an
 ST_Intersects() in a WHERE clause. For example, my query currently looks
 like this:


 {{{
 SELECT gid, state FROM geologic_units WHERE
 ST_Intersects(the_geom::geography, (SELECT ST_Buffer('LINESTRING(-93
 44,-104 39)'::geography, 35000))
 }}}

 If I use geometry instead of geography, it works perfectly:


 {{{
 SELECT gid, state FROM .geologic_units WHERE ST_Intersects(the_geom,
 (SELECT ST_Buffer('SRID=4326;LINESTRING(-93 44,-104 39)', 1))) is true
 }}}

 Using PostGIS 2.1.0 with GEOS 3.3.8-CAPI-1.7.8 and GDAL 1.10.0. Any help
 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
