[Gate-users] GeomTest Error: Overlapping daughter volumes and overshooting daughter volume

Hello again!

I've looked a bit more in the benchmark (cylindrical PET) camera to try and
understand what is causing the geomTest Error. It seems most objects are
defined to be just beside eachother, e.g. a daughter shares a common side
with its mother and so on. I thought this should be OK and not classified as
overlap??
The code for the camera setup is found below. Maybe someone else has run the
geometry check and gotten similar results as me? Can this error be due to
some faulty installation or something else? Any suggestsions are more than
welcome!
