It's because you are using a disc. VRand_In_Obj() returns points
*inside* the object, discs don't have an inside (they are infinitely
thin) so it makes several attempts (specifically, 1000 attempts) before
eventually giving up and generating a point inside the bounding box of
the disc. The documentation specifically mentions that this macro only
works on solid objects. If you use a short cylinder, it will work.
