[postgis-users] st_area and 0.001953125

[Birgit Laggner]

Hi Maxime,

well, this would argue against the guess from Marc regarding the
versions change from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 (I can't imagine that 1.5.1 has
errors that were already debugged in 1.4.1). What catches my eye is that
all systems that show the error are 64-bit systems and the one from Marc
providing the true result is a 32-bit system. Maybe this could be
leading to an explanation??

Thanks  and regards,

Birgit.
