[ODE] are force accumulators zeroed if body is disabled?

[David McClurg]

I found that dBodyDisable() allows large force accumulators to build up.  I suppose this is just a user error and not a bug but perhaps it could be documented.

also, i have some memory leaks.  for example, dSphereClass never gets freed.  i don't see anywhere in ode that takes care of freeing dSphereClass.  Am I missing something?

thanks for a great lib in ode (opcode too)

i'm lazy. does anyone know off hand about this?

  dBodyDisable (bodyID);
  dBodyAddForce (bodyID, fx, fy, fz);
  dWorldStep (worldID, stepsize);
  // should the force accumulators be set to zero after this integrator step for bodyID?
  dBodyEnable (bodyID);
