[Gmsh] Gmsh: problems with flat tetrahedra

Hello,
I've been trying to use gmsh to construct 3D tetrahedral grids for our
CFD work. I have run into considerable problems due to the creation of
very flat tetrahedra when producing grids for complex geometries. Most
of the
flat tetrahedra are rather envelope-shaped. If you are interested, I
can send a .geo file which will produce this effect.
This mucks up my calculations due to instabilities.
I'm aware that the 3D grid generator is still experimental, but
nevertheless I would like to ask if there exists a sort of
workaround for this. Or is it foreseen that the problem will
be tackled in the near future?
Otherwise I must say that the software looks very nice. I actually
used it for a number of grids, but most of them have proven to be not
really that useful due to this problem :-(.
TIA for any answer
Thomas
