[ODE] Consistency

That's probably the problem (non-zero joint feedback right after reinitialization - when there should be zero feedback - seems to confirm it). But how do I reset the joint velocities? I thought that resetting the bodies to their initial positions and zero velocities would carry the joints along, and they'd also be back at their initial position with no velocity.
