You anticipated my next question, which was why this error was happening.  (I.e. do I blame the geometry, or blame the faceting engine?) I don't know of a way to get at the merge tolerance from the context of the error, since merging is done to a geometry before ReadCGM gets access to it.  But perhaps when this error is prevalent, it suggests that the geometry was created with a bad choice of merging tolerance?
