Description gas 2001-08-23 20:02:16 CEST 
G4Sphere::SurfaceNormal() returns the wrong normal for points on the end theta
plane.  The reason is a typo on line 671 of G4Sphere.cc: the Z component of the
normal should be
  -sin(fSTheta+fDTheta)
                ^
and not
   -sin(fSTheta+fSTheta)

(Easy to do since the S is right next to the D on the keyboard.)
