[postgis-users] problem with data crossing the date line

well, I've reached that point where I have to deal with data crossing the date line. I have kept a file on my Dropbox/Public folder [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3526821/PA.gmt] which has a series of lat/lng pairs, one per line, making a single polygon. If I insert them into PostGIS as GEOMETRY, the resulting polygon is messed up. If I insert them as GEOGRAPHY, I can't view the polygon in Quantum GIS.

Any suggestion on the best way to handle this?

Puneet.
