There seems to be a bit of confusion here as to what I was doing, so I'll post
the code I used:

void apply_damping(dBodyID body) {
    dReal *v = dBodyGetLinearVel(body);
    dReal *x = dBodyGetAngularVel(body);

    v[0] *= -0.01f;
    v[1] *= -0.01f;
    v[2] *= -0.01f;
    dBodyAddForce(body, v[0], v[1], v[2]);
    x[0] *= -0.01f;
    x[1] *= -0.01f;
    x[2] *= -0.01f;
    dBodyAddTorque(body, x[0], x[1], x[2]);
}

I tried applying this to all bodies prior to calling dWorldStep for each cycle
of the loop.  I also tried applying it after dWorldStep instead, with the same
results.  Or was I supposed to do this in my nearCallBack?
