Vehicle collision

I'm digging on the vehicle code at the moment.
I think I found what is the origin of the vehicle collision bugs (already pointed out in some threads).
In code ts/tsShape.cc, function computeAccelerator, it may happen that a ConvexHullAccelerator is initialized with no VertexList.
It happens because the code does not call the following method :
This bad initialisation will then conducts to a crash when we get back this accelerator and try to access vertex[0].
I need to dig more in the code to find a way to fix this bug, but I'm opened to any helps and comments to solve this bug.
