Try this in PostGIS 2.0 and tell me why this should return true?
SELECT ST_Intersects(
st_geomfromtext('SRID=4326;POLYGON((174.375 51.9230769,-168.75
51.9230769,-168.75 41.5384615,174.375 41.5384615,174.375 51.9230769))'),
st_geomfromtext('SRID=4326;POLYGON((-70.89651028442381
42.462445702609216,-71.23948971557616 42.462445702609216,-71.23948971557616
42.269406003536325,-70.89651028442381 42.269406003536325, -70.89651028442381
42.462445702609216))')
);
I.E I don't think a box in the Boston area should intersect one in the
northern pacific. Am I wrong?
