[ODE] Trimesh-trimesh and dGeomTriMeshDataSet

[Patrick Enoch]

boxes that land exactly edge to egde on a triangle, will penetrate it  
heavily.

let A be a (long) edge of a triangle, let B be a perpendicular edge  
of the cube falling on it.

if B hits directly on A, the cube will tilt a bit (keeping B touching  
A) penetrating the triangle.
probably, the egde-touching is due to correct collision-handling with  
adjacent triangle (along A).

in contrast: let cube fall on big triangle (cube is "enclosed" in  
triangle). no penetration will occur.
or: let cube fall "across" egde A. no problems here either.

the bad case above will cause apparently "resting" cubes, suddenly  
bounce off (when by accident
correct handling is done and cube is pushed out of the triangle).

if you have a "coarse" mesh (relative to the cubes) then the chance  
of hitting an edge is low. however, i work with
small triangles and hitting such an edge happens quite often...
