Comment (by mdavis):

 Perhaps you have a more "batteries include" implementation of Frechet
 Distance.

 The PostGIS algorithm (coming from GEOS) is a Discrete Frechet Distance
 implementation.  It works better if the geometry is densified via the
 optional third argument:

 {{{
 SELECT ST_FrechetDistance(
   'Linestring(1 1,2 2,3 1)',
   'Linestring(1 4,2 3,3 4,4 3)', .01);
  st_frechetdistance
 --------------------
  2.9800000000000004
 }}}
