ST_PointOnSurface gives EMPTY for non-empty line input

Reported by: strk Owned by: pramsey
Priority: medium Milestone: PostGIS GEOS
Component: postgis Version: 2.0.x

Description

When passing a line with a single distinct point to ST_PointOnSurface you get an EMPTY back. Granted that we don't support invalid geometries, but it would be much more useful to just return _that_ point instead.

Note the discrepancy:

 ST_PointOnSurface('LINESTRING(0 0, 10 0)'::geometry) -> POINT(0 0)
 ST_PointOnSurface('LINESTRING(0 0, 0 0)'::geometry) -> POINT EMPTY

This was fixed upstream. Let's keep this ticket open until GEOS-3.3.7 is out.
