[ODE] Debug vs Release floating point (MSVC)

Nah... I'm pretty sure it is to do with the optimizations (for speed) that 
occur when building for release. In release build floating point exceptions
are not checked for, internal representation of the number is different
etc - I don't really know the details. If you are using doubles, this might 
be relevant too:

Apparently the /Op switch is supposed to stop optimizations in the
release build as well, but whether you want to do that is the 
question isn't it...
