[postgis-users] incorrect st_distance

Hey all,

i was under the impression the st_distance returned the smallest
distance between two geometries, but i have several instances where
the st_distance returned between a point and a linestring is greater
than that returned for the st_distance between the same point and
startpoint(linestring). Is this a bug?
