[ODE] Trouble balancing "hover" rays over very short distances

Thanks, Jon, I'll try implementing your suggestion, though...

Yes, pushDir is normalized, and velDir gets normalized there right
there, after I assign it the velocity (velDir.norm()).  So no problems
there, though the rest of the algorithm is suspect at best.

Thanks again,
