That's a pretty low-level error; you shouldn't be able to trigger it
yourself without writing your own datatype or some such. Given the
set of types in your table, I'm betting that the bug is actually in
PostGIS, either in the geometry input converter or one of the index
support functions for geometry (you didn't show an index on the_point,
but is there one?). Try asking over there if they know of any such
problems as of 8.2.
