[postgis-users] Problem : Within() incorrectly returns 'false'

[Paul Ramsey]

If this is a recent PostGIS, it's possible that our point-in-polygon 
short-circuit test is returning a wrong answer, while the other tests 
(distance, intersection) are independently returning the right answer. 
Incidentally, what is the result of a relate(point,polygon)?
