If I try to insert a row containing particular coordinate, the query fails and 
the DB connection is lost. (By comparison, hundreds of inserts of other 
coordinates work fine.) Here's a straight copy-and-paste comparison from psql:

mydb=# INSERT INTO addresses ( account_id, territory_id, location ) VALUES ( 1, 
0, ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-114.112534 50.895364)') ) RETURNING id;
 id  
-----
 333
(1 row)

INSERT 0 1
mydb=# INSERT INTO addresses ( account_id, territory_id, location ) VALUES ( 1, 
0, ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-114.228869 51.152249)') ) RETURNING id;
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
!> 

Here's the table definition:

CREATE TABLE public.addresses
(id serial NOT NULL,
account_id int NOT NULL,
territory_id int NOT NULL,
location GEOGRAPHY(POINT,4326),
PRIMARY KEY (id));
CREATE INDEX location ON addresses USING GIST (location);

Strange right? FWIW, the queries are being generated programmatically by a 
script, so the error is not caused by a typo, since hundreds of other inserts 
work. Also, I've done a little research, two interesting findings:

1. All the multiplied coordinate values (abs(lat)*abs(lng)) of the SUCCESSFUL 
inserts are LOWER than the coordinates of failed query.

2. If I create the table without the index on location, the failed inserts 
suddenly work. So it seems the problem lies with the PostGIS updating the Index 
-- maybe it doesn't like the size of the values of the larger coordinates?

Anyway, if you have any ideas of what I can do to fix this, I would love to 
hear them. Thanks!
