Hello,

I have a question regarding the Triangle_3_Segment_3_intersection function that is in CGAL3.5b1. Should it ever return a degenerate Segment_3? Seems like it should return a Point_3 instead. Not sure if this is a bug, is the intended behavior, or I am doing something wrong.

The situation that is giving me the degenerate segment is the intersection of a coplaner triangle and segment where the end of the segment is touching the edge of the triangle.

I can send a simple example if anyone is interested.

Thanks,

Matt
