Hello.
I have problems with polygons on the -180/180 meridian in 4326 system
(lat/long).

How can I insert in postgis, for exemple, "POLYGON((-170 10, 170 10, 170
-10, -170 -10,-170 10))", if i want a polygon on the 180 meridian ?

I've try "POLYGON((-170 10, 170 10, 170 -10, -170 -10))" and "POLYGON((170
10, -170 10, -170 -10, 170 -10, 170 10))", and the results are the same.
Both crossing the medridian 0 and not the meridian 180.

Thank you.
