ST_3DDistance seems not to work for LINESTRINGs in specified situation.

[Wenjing]

Consider the following statement

SELECT ST_3DDistance(b1, b2)  
FROM ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING Z (0 0 0, 1 0 0)') As b1,
ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING Z (0 0 0, 1 1 1)') As b2;
--  st_3ddistance 
---------------
--              
-- (1 row)

The ST_3DDistance function is expected to give the result but it doesn't.

The version:

I confirm this is not working and gives a NULL as you say. Very strange

[Wenjing]

Paul, did you have a chance to look at this one? It is very strange. @pramsey

I also see NULL. So.
