Description
Hi
Given this rectangular polygon
POLYGON((11.147991 64.75815699999998,11.443969 64.75815699999998,11.443969 64.845147,11.147991 64.845147,11.147991 64.75815699999998))
the polygonToCells call fails with
com.uber.h3core.exceptions.H3Exception: The operation failed but a more specific error is not available
Test program to reproduce:
var coords = List.of(
new LatLng(64.758157,11.147991),
new LatLng(64.758157,11.443969),
new LatLng(64.845147,11.443969),
new LatLng(64.845147,11.147991),
new LatLng(64.758157,11.147991));
H3Core.newInstance().polygonToCells(coords, List.of(), 10);
The ''same'' polygon shifted at latitudes of 63 degrees works without issue.
Library version: com.uber:h3:4.1.1
OS: Mac Os Ventura 13.5
Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
Memory: 32GB
Any potential fix/workaround suggestion?
Thanks a lot

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with H3Core.newInstance().polygonToCells using the rectangular coordinates and resolution 10 from the issue. Compare the same polygon at latitude 63 and inspect the Java binding and underlying H3 behavior for this latitude. Done means the reported polygon no longer throws H3Exception, with the regression covered by a test if the relevant test location is identified.
