ST_AsSVG kills whole postgres server when fails

[cumobiworx]

To verify, try the following statement:

select ST_AsSVG(geomfromtext('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POLYGON((10.099877929668 48.862883054592,10.181369018541 48.856106812965,10.268353271476 48.852944252927,10.332458496101 48.864689897427,10.382411956792 48.892266788693,10.407646179203 48.911254853059,10.420349121097 48.93748354518,10.429618835452 48.96366788587,10.435455322268 48.985783173727,10.418289184574 49.004766242422,10.387390136724 49.027527294485,10.353744506842 49.053222191579,10.20981245042 49.07656037895,10.107079124464 49.085499093636,9.9949962616126 49.072793268945,9.9163993835595 49.038370025831,9.9240005493217 48.991083619683,9.9584289550641 48.925258336798,10.025720214827 48.892274642324,10.099877929668 48.862883054592)))', 4326))

it will fail though it shouldn't (the Geometry is valid), and it will kill postgres. This happens on Postgres 8.4 w/ postgis 1.4 and also on Postgres 9.0 and Postgis 1.5

Could reproduce it on 2.0 branch

Could reproduce or couldn't? My test on 2.0 on OSX worked fine. On 1.5, I got a backend crash.
