It is perfectly normal that in special cases like this (zero diameter 
cylinder, torus with zero major radius) different compiles generate 
different results (mostly due to different math library 
implementations).  As said it is simply expected that the user takes 
care of using reasonable values in such places.

Note while you might suggest one compile handles such a case 'more 
correctly' than another one this usually is pure luck.
