[postgis-users] Unknown geometry type: 12 - MultiSurface

[Jim Klassen]

Thanks, that works.  I wouldn't have guessed to try the 3D functions for
support of 2D curves.  Also, good to know that information is available
in Ch 14.  I didn't realize I needed to think of Intersects as "Special"
depending on geometry type.
