[ODE] Allocation problem?

[Andrew Arcilla]

Yes, I am using Windows and I am using dWorldStep().  I will definitely try
the switch over to dWorldQuickStep().

What platform are you using (Windows, Linux, MacOSX, etc)?
What compiler are you using?
What stepping function are you using? (dWorldStep(), dWorldQuickStep(), etc)

My guess is you're on Windows, and using plain dWorldStep(). In that 
case, you're running out of stack. This issue is mentioned more 
thoroughly in the ODE documentation. Simple solution: switch to 
dWorldQuickStep().

Cheers,
