[vtkusers] vtkUnstructuredGrid::FindCell() fails to find pyramid cells on a Fujitsu FX10 (non-x86) platform?

[Andy Bauer]

Hi,

I wonder if it's a tolerance issue in vtkPyramid::EvaluatePosition().  The
tolerance is set to 0.001.  You could try increasing that value as well as
increasing the 1.001 values and see if that solves your problem.
