Log Message:
-----------
more details on the tgc bug.  it's somehow only calculating one hit for rays 
that perfectly graze the edge of the cylinder's lengthwise tube surface (not 
the end disks or actual topological edges).  bug may be specific to cones that 
pinch to a point (like s.nos5g) but unconfirmed.
