Oh! Please forget this message, as there was not a problem with
PostGIS but with OrbisCAD. Developers were using PostGIS 0.x, they

are arising in their code this week.

Yes, my quick and dirty hacks usually make a lot of assumptions, and
produce collateral damage. :D

Don't worry about that. I'll contact with them.

Thanks a lot for your answer and your time,
