[postgis-users] Problem with functions contains

[strk at refractions.net]

I get the same results, but I can't "visually" see the non-containment.
I tried using qgis, but no displacement is shown between the two
boundaries until I zoom *really close* obtaining a rendering bug instead.
Can it be JUMP gets confused as well by too-small values ?
