I've been playing with this and it is not as simple a problem as I thought.
In cases where the proper cylinders are chosen my solution (when corrected)
works, but with some other cylinders it does not, as you found out I am
sure.

Intersections of planes should work, but you would have to work out the math
for each union and my math is not up to that. I am sure one of the vector
functions will do it, but someone else will have to answer that question.
