 -----------
 
+* raytracing rhc crashes (inside malloc, so previous memory badness)
+  with normal tolerance set to non-default value (e.g. tol norm 0.1);
+  also fails (non-crash) if absolute tolerance is changed (e.g., tol
+  abs 0.1)

 * revolve raytracing seems to be busted.. at least with the example
   csgbrep revolve shape

+* investigate why epa primitive is so sensitive to coarse absolute

 * implement a new "simulate" command for applying physics deformations

   new geometry unless updating the existing is requested.  Usage might
