[Gmsh] Need quick help in generating a 3D tetrahedral mesh of a cylinder (bug?)

[Toshiro K. Ohsumi]

Hello,

   I am using the latest gmsh, but it seems not to be able to generate a 3D
mesh given the attached cyl.geo file.  I am creating the top and bottom 
circles (line loops 40 and 41) and the 4 panels make up the sides (the rest of
the line loops), I turn them into ruled surfaces then physical surfaces, then
volume, then physical volume.  I do not see why this does not work.  (What am I
doing wrong?)  Gmsh just keeps printint out Info : Relaxation factor = ... 
followed by some message about coplanar points (but shouldn't the surfaces 
contain coplanar points?).  Is this a bug?

   I am doing it this way since I need to be able to specify boundary conditions
on the ends of the cylinder as well as on the outer [curved] wall.  

   I need to generate this soon (within a day or so), so any help would be 
greatly appreciated.  Many thanks,
