I found out:

Realthing is the target csg in white_dune 0.99rc994

ftp://ftp.ourproject.org/pub/wdune/wdune-0.99rc994.tar.bz2

to make csg, use e.g.

$ dune -english

create -> Grouping node -> group
create -> Shape -> Sphere
click to group
create -> Shape -> cone
Convert -> Convert To IndexedFaceSet
click to Sphere
Convert -> Convert To IndexedFaceSet
Click to group
(IndexedFace)Set -> Boolean Operations -> Union

In case of realthing X this works, otherwise i get the
Exception of the fedora28 failure 8-(

So i think, the code is correct, but there is something
in (newer ?) CGAL, that causes the exception.

so long
