+        Backstory: Ole Nielson pointed out an issue to me
+        (Tim Sutton) where simplify ftools was dropping
+        features. This test replicates that issues.
+
+        Interestingly we could replicate the issue in PostGIS too:
+         - doing straight simplify returned no feature
+         - transforming to UTM49, then simplify with e.g. 200 threshold is ok
+         - as above with 500 threshold drops the feature
