  • priority changed from major to minor.
  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • milestone deleted.

We'll work around by dodging that windows error. Ultimately, I think GEOS needs a function to free this memory.

  • status changed from assigned to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.

That DLL was busted and we've ditched it for one generated using mingw.
