[postgis-users] PostGIS 1.3.3 on Windows XP Unstable

[Paul Ramsey]

Mike,

If it was in general unstable, we would be hearing a lot more noise on
the list. I think you've just lucked into a couple bad/difficult
geometry cases. Your buffer case sounds like the one here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/188 so hopefully it'll be patched up
in the next release. Your disjoint case is new, perhaps you can find a
pair of geometries that you know exercise it and attach them to an
issue report?
