Hi! Running the following query locks up postgis completely (in geos::algorithm::RobustDeterminant):
SELECT st_intersects(somegeometry, '0103000020E61000000100000005000000737979F3DDCC2CC0F92154F9E7534540000000000000F07F000000000000F07F8F806E993F7E55C0304B29FFEA8554400634E8D1DD424540B5FEE6A37FCD4540737979F3DDCC2CC0F92154F9E7534540'::geometry) I believe this is because there are infinite values in that geometry: # select ST_AsText('0103000020E61000000100000005000000737979F3DDCC2CC0F92154F9E7534540000000000000F07F000000000000F07F8F806E993F7E55C0304B29FFEA8554400634E8D1DD424540B5FEE6A37FCD4540737979F3DDCC2CC0F92154F9E7534540'::geometry); st_astext --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLYGON((-14.4001308522972 42.6555167828373,inf inf,-85.9726317957995 82.0924680617579,42.5223944076352 43.6054577711015,-14.4001308522972 42.6555167828373)) (1 row) ISTM that this should either be rejected as an invalid geometry, or at least not hang.... Now, this geometry actually comes back as the result of st_transform, which suggests to me that there is *also* a bug in st_transform, which should never output an invalid geometry. It is the result of: st_transform('0103000020CD0B0000010000000500000099E6673CA2FC2DC1AD7BF5ED45CC534199E6673CA2FC2DC1D7BDFAF6D28960415A06E670D7E94B41D7BDFAF6D28960415A06E670D7E94B41AD7BF5ED45CC534199E6673CA2FC2DC1AD7BF5ED45CC5341', 4326) And that geometry is valid before it goes into st_transform, from what I can tell: # select st_astext('0103000020CD0B0000010000000500000099E6673CA2FC2DC1AD7BF5ED45CC534199E6673CA2FC2DC1D7BDFAF6D28960415A06E670D7E94B41D7BDFAF6D28960415A06E670D7E94B41AD7BF5ED45CC534199E6673CA2FC2DC1AD7BF5ED45CC5341'::geometry); st_astext ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ POLYGON((-982609.1179802 5189911.7181081,-982609.1179802 8670871.7181081,3658670.8820198 8670871.7181081,3658670.8820198 5189911. 7181081,-982609.1179802 5189911.7181081)) (1 row) To me this looks like bugs "below" postgis - it's certainly below the PostgreSQL level that I know well :-) Not sure if it can be worked around/fixed at the postgis level or if it needs to be done in the lower level libraries, but either way it shouldn't behave this way :-) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
