[Gmsh] Surface Loops

I ended up drawing the volume in the gui and it still crash, but now
for a different reason.
If I have the 8 corners of the box 1e-5 apart with a 5-e7
characteristic length the mesher crashes.
If I have the 8 corners of the box 1 apart with a 0.05 characteristic
length the mesher works.
This is gmsh 2.0.8 packaged for Ubuntu for a amd64 machine.
Is there a way to make this work without crashing?
Regards,
Juan
