After the last time your test on "j" succeede, j = 20. Your array's last element 
is 19, you want to access element 20 whitch don't exist.
Solution:
Use 2 successive #while loops. The first one been only for the planes, the 
second only for the quadrics.

The order of the elements of the intersection have no impact: All components 
after the first are intersected from the first one.
