[Fwd: [QUESTIONS] an apparent error in answer from "##" (closest proximity)operator]

Hi,

sorry to bug you as an individual, but I had no replies
at all to my postings below. Can you point me to a
place/person/source where I might try to seek an answer?

Thanks.

Gautam

1st posting (2nd posting attached to this email.)

I am trying

drop table lines;
DROP

create table lines (
        l line
);
CREATE

insert into lines values ('((0,0),(1,2))'::line);
WARN:fmgr_info: function 0: cache lookup failed

EOF


If I change line to lseg everthing work ok.

I believe this is Postgres 6.3 (but I don't know how to
readily find that out on a running/installed version.
Is there  a way to know by looking into some file someplace?)

Thanks

template1=> select '(0,0)'::point ## '((2,0),(0,2))'::lseg as
closest_point;
closest_point
-------------
(1,1)
(1 row)

looks to be correct but


template1=> select '(1,1)'::point ## '((0,0),(0,2))'::lseg as
closest_point;
closest_point
-------------
(0,0)
(1 row)


seems to be in error as the closest point should be "(0,1)" on the lseg,
is it not?

(please excuse me if am totally brain dead here....)
