Comment:

 this is fixed.  Just had to make sure I changed all debbie PostGIS
 branches to use the same version of GDAL.

 The problem with using different GDAL versions in each branch is because
 GDAL libs change name, so if an older built postgis from another branch is
 built with a different GDAL minor, the new GDAL can't be used to support
 the old postgis lib because via the env variables there is only one
 version of GDAL in path which is the version specified for the current
 running regress branch.

 This isn't an issue with GEOS since GEOS lib names don't change from minor
 to minor.

 I suppose in theory maybe there is a way to force the libname of GDAL to
 stay the same but haven't researched to see how that could be done. Other
 option is just to copy all the GDAL lib files in same folderand have PG
 env variables reference that folder instead of different folders.
