[ODE] Disappearing objects

[Megan Fox]

You could start with... anything, really.  Step sizes?  Masses of
objects?  Maybe what SORT of objects are just flying off (and what
they were touching at the time)?  Etc? ;)


If they're just disappearing, it's likely they're going to NAN (try
reading out the position of the objects).  This is probably the result
of a simulation being made unstable by one or more
improperly-configured values.
