Hi All,
I'm having some problems with features that are being returned from an
ST_Buffer operation in PostGIS. When I try to buffer the extents of Papua
New Guinea, a large region in the middle of its extents is omitted. You can
see a visual representation of this at

If I just select the country itself, I get back all of the features that I'm
expecting. In the image I've posted above, the black area indicates the
results of that query.
I am using postgresql-8.3.5, and postgis-1.3.3. My select statements is as
follows:
select name, Buffer(the_geom, .12) from coastlines where iso_3_code =
'PNG';
I've tried this using both a free countries shapefile, as well as an ESRI
one, and get the same results. I'm a bit baffled, and unsure if I have a
problem with both data sets, or in my query, or...? If someone else has had
a similar problem in the past, and can shed some light on it, I'd greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Roger
