Hmmm I think this is another symptom of not having RECHECK specified in
the operator class - I thought that strk committed this change after we
brought up the discussion earlier this year? It looks like it's only
specified for PostgreSQL 7.1 at the moment.

[looks through the source...] It's definitely not in postgis_7*_end.sql
for >= 7.2. strk, did this get lost somewhere in your changes for
rebuilding postgis.sql?


Cheers,

Mark.
