[postgis-users] ST_Buffer malfunction on LINESTRING

[Michal Seidl]

Hello,
I am facing this malfunction of ST_Buffer. The result of closed 
LINESTRING buffer should be polygon with hole but regular polygon is 
returned?

I am using:
POSTGIS="2.1.4 r12966" GEOS="3.4.2-CAPI-1.8.2 r3921" PROJ="Rel. 4.8.0, 6 
March 2012" GDAL="GDAL 1.10.1, released 2013/08/26" LIBXML="2.9.1" 
LIBJSON="UNKNOWN" RASTER

This is the case

wkt_geometry

If I enlarge buffer distance to 0.01 result looks OK. Also if I change 
from default propeties to endcap=square join=miter helps?

Anu suggestions?

Thanks Michal S.
