Interesting. The above patch is required for PostgreSQL >= 8.2, however
PostGIS 1.1.x never supported PostgreSQL 8.2 which is probably why there
is a PostGIS/PostgreSQL version mismatch occurring. According to the
release notes, PostGIS 1.2.1 is the first release to support PostgreSQL
8.2.


Kind regards,

Mark.
