Description

When I do this select on a very small polygon made of 3 points I get an empty collection: 

select ST_AsText(ST_Centroid(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((56.5286666667
25.2101666667,56.529 25.2105,56.5288333333 25.2103333333,56.5286666667
25.2101666667))')));

st_astext

GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY

(1 row)

If I modify one value just a little bit (56.529⇒56.529000000001) I get correct results: 

select ST_AsText(ST_Centroid(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((56.5286666667
25.2101666667,56.529000000001 25.2105,56.5288333333
25.2103333333,56.5286666667 25.2101666667))')));

st_astext

POINT(56.5288333333337 25.2103333333333)

(1 row)

Sandro Santilli confirmed it is bug.
