[ODE] Empty bodies crash with trimesh

[Jeff Kershner]

My scene has a room (box) and a sphere.  The box is created with a trimesh
and the sphere is just a sphere geom.

For some reason, when my sphere hits the ground of the box, dCollide crashes
in my NearCallback function.  

dBodyID b1 is valid
dBodyID b2 is NULL (probably the ground that doesn't have a body attached to
it)

The geoms for b1 and b2 look like valid pointers.

What am I doing wrong?

Yes and no.

If you set your collide and category bits correctly you should not go to 
this function (with a wall and a florr) since there are not movable and 
should not collide.

But You should always check if they are both null you never know.
