 The attached example illustrates what I think is a bug in 'within'. The
 data corresponds to ECA zones (Emission Control Area) around he United
 States.
 The point (lat=25.9556,lon-78.1239) should be outside the polygon, but it
 is detected inside. The point (lat=25.95,lon-78.1239) is correctly
 detected outside the polygon so I suspect I ran into some kind of
 singularity or something...

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!
