Might want to cross-post this to QGIS, it's more their problem than ours.

I have kept a file on my Dropbox/Public folder [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3526821/PA.gmt] which has a series of lat/lng pairs, one per line, making a single polygon. If I insert them into PostGIS as GEOMETRY, the resulting polygon is messed up. If I insert them as GEOGRAPHY, I can't view the polygon in Quantum GIS.
