[postgis-users] am I misunderstanding distance() or a bug?

Thanks! That's kinda funny, that it wasn't commutative.

So, I'm new to this side of things. Do I need HEAD/geos or just
HEAD/postgis?

I've found the bug.
I wonder how is it possible that no one noticed this before!

A side effect of the bug is that distance(a,b) can be different
from distance(b,a).
This applies to your testcase (urgh).

If you can give a try to current head you should find it fixed.

Thanks for your report.
