What normal do you suggest this disc should have?

Hmm... there are good arguments either way for this. Personally, I'd rather
have the error, since I probably generated the problematic cylinder with a
macro that generates random cylinders or something, and I'd like to know
that there's a problem rather than rendering for a while, only to discover
that a cylinder is missing.
