Comment (by pramsey):

 The question, as always for these kinds of things, is where to put the
 fix. We could put a big "no infinites" test at the PostGIS level, before
 calling into GEOS. Or we could put a test in Quadtree::Root to throw an
 exception in the case of infinite envelopes, since the Quadtree code is
 definitely not infinite-safe. I lean towards the latter as the "correct"
 fix, but it means this won't be fixed "in postgis", but in a patch release
 of GEOS.
