[postgis-users] Will someone compile PostGIS 0.8.0 and PostgreSQL 7.4 for Win32 and want to share it?

dcmms=# select geomunion('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(LINESTRING(1 1,0 0),POINT(0 
0)');
                          geomunion
------------------------------------------------------------
  SRID=-1;GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(LINESTRING(1 1,0 0),POINT(0 0))
(1 row)

No error message, but the backend is still alive. Should the backend die
randomly? I get the same result on SuSE 8.2, PostgreSQL 7.3.2.
