#5916: ST_Split consumes excessive memory when input contains infinity values
----------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  dmyzl     |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium    |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.5.4
Component:  postgis   |    Version:  3.5.x
 Keywords:  ST_Split  |
----------------------+---------------------------
 Executing the following SQL consumes a large amount of memory, eventually
 exhausting system resources and causing the operation to fail. It might be
 better to raise an error before attempting to allocate such a large amount
 of memory:

 {{{
 SELECT ST_SPLIT(
     ST_GEOMFROMTEXT('LINESTRING(123456789

 0 1)'),
     ST_GEOMFROMTEXT('MULTIPOINT(0 1, 0 0, 2 3)')
 );
