[ODE] Presentation and question

[DjArcas]

This is exactly what I've been getting, and it's causing me headaches. If
you search the list for QNAN (NOT A NUMBER, no idea what the Q's for), then
you'll see me shouting lots about it. I've yet to come up with a soution -
but increasing the CFM does seem to make it happen less often.  Also, it,
oddly, possibly coincidentally, it rarely happens when using ODE's
drawstuff, but a lot more often when using D3D.

Please someone find a solution, I'm running out of things to try :|
