--- Comment #1 from Sven Manguard <[email protected]> ---
I'm going to put the prose version I've posted to Project Chat here, as the log
isn't as clear.

"It was discovered a short time ago that the Geographic coordinate datatype was
converting inputs made in the decimal style system into minute/second system
incorrectly. For example, the location of Massachusetts Institute of Technology
is 42.35982, -71.09211 in the decimal system and 42°21′35.35″N, 71°5′31.6″W in
the minute/second system, however if 42.35982, -71.09211 is entered as a value,
it is converted to 42°21'35.35"N, 72°54'28.4"W, which is correct in the north
value but incorrect in the west value."

I'm also upping this to highest priority, because we can't have a datatype
systematically churning out bad data.
