Description
From [f185d929fa1c0caa], each call to geometry wkb value (used in the json representation) will call GEOSversion() to test a corner case condition.
Unfortunately and randomly, this causes 'LooseVersion' object has no attribute 'version' errors. It might be memory related because the same operation sometimes fails, sometimes succeeds in the exact same code conditions.
It's hard to know what part of the code to blame, but I would argue that calling a GEOS method for each wkb value retrieval is suboptimal, as the GEOS version should not change between server restart. We may find a way to cache the GEOS version between calls.
