 {{{
 we found some unexpected results when doing spatial queries on very
 large geography polygons. For example

     SELECT ST_Distance(ST_SetSRID( ST_MakeBox2D(ST_Point(160,
 60),ST_Point(-160,-60)), 4326)::geography,ST_SetSRID(ST_Point(0, 0),
 4326)::geography)/1000

 returns 13130km instead of 0 as the point 0,0 should be inside this
 polygon.
