[ODE] Hinge2 problem

Hi,

I am having trouble with my Hinge2 joints.  I am trying to create a car 
out of 7 spheres (3 in a row for the body and one on each corner for the 
wheels).  I set the back wheels to standard hinge joints, and the front 
wheels to hinge2 joints.  The anchors for all of them are in their center 
of mass.  Axis 2 is the x axis, and axis 1 is the y axis (y axis points 
up in my coordinate system).

So here's the problem.  The wheels are turning fine on each axis at the 
start. But if you turn the wheels to the left or right, then accelerate, 
the wheels keep turning on their original axis and the rest of the "car" 
continues on it's original path.  If anyone can offer me any clue as to 
why this is, I would be grateful.  btw, I am using the 0.03 release.

Thanks.
