You see false positives on the intersection test?

Is it with end-caps near the sphere, or with the cyl body near the sphere?

Do you have a test program?

Hmm... there is a mechanism of 'depth exaggeration' in
collision_cylinder_sphere.cpp, but that is disabled by default.
Did you redefine _DEPTH_RECOVER_METHOD_ ?
