Thanks for the tip. That seems to do the trick. Apart from the performance
impact, can this cause any regression? FWIW PostGIS regression tests does
not show any new failure, but anything specific I should test? With regard
to performance impact, could it be material? And if so, in what
circumstances?

Thanks,
Pavan
