Doing this:
results in a full torus. That's not right. :(
Using OpenSCAD version 2015.03-2 on Win8.1 platform.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
A

Attached is a workaround, which I have used to keep compatibility with
older OpenSCAD versions that I have no control over, namely the one used in
Thingiverse customizer.
To use it just call rotate_extrude2(...)
If openscad version is high enough, it will use the built in angle
parameter, which is much faster than the workaround.
It has an extra parameter "size" which should be set to larger than the
largest coordinate of the children shape. It defaults to 1000 which should
work ok for most cases. This parameter is necessary because bounding box
data is not queryable in the language.

Strange. Not sure how I missed that.
Thanks,
