[ODE] Rolling friction?

[Filipe Dias]

Rolling friction?.. mm forgive me to ask this, but isn't it supost not to 
exist? I know of air resistance :-|  But if we have a perfect plane, 
always perpendicular to the gravity, beeing rolled-over by a cylinder and 
no "fluid" (like air) around, I gess the cylinder is suposed to get 
closer to infinity every second.... and at constant speed.. ;-)
