to retain the 3rd dimension, maybe better use WGS84-3D, EPSG:4329 ?

When I get to FGDB, I've lost my third dimension (still trying to
figure that out)

[pramsey@localhost postgis2fgdb]$ ../gdal-svn/gdal/apps/ogrinfo -al ~/3dgeom.gdb

But even odder, when I go back to PostGIS, I've got slight coordinate drift.

3dgeom2=# select st_asewkt(g) from points ;
                                 st_asewkt

  SRID=4326;POINT(2.00000000000005 3.00000000000001 1.04446235346063e-305)
  SRID=4326;POINT(3.00000000000005 4.00000000000001 1.04446235346063e-305)
(3 rows)

I just turned on statement logging and watched both the export and the
import to PostGIS and in both cases the database is sending and
receiving the canonical form (hex ewkb) there is no text
representation step. This seems frightfully odd. Any suggestions on
debugging steps?
