[postgis-users] ST_Buffer() never returns

[Andi Vajda]

  Hi,

Running on Mac OS X 10.5.4 with 4gb of RAM and postgis_full_version() of
POSTGIS="1.3.2" GEOS="3.0.0-CAPI-1.4.1" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.0, 21 Dec 2007" USE_STATS

I get a runaway postgres process if I call ST_Buffer(shape, 0.1) on the 
attached WKT shape. My postgresql server eventually exhausts the swap space 
over 9gb.

It's a polygon with 12271 points representing the state of Alabama.
When converted to GeoJSON it renders correctly at [1].
Is this shape triggering some bug ?

Thanks !

Andi..
