[ODE] Heightfield2

[Geoff Carlton]

Hi,
You'll need to describe exactly what the problem is.  I did insert those 
lines and the cyl seemed to behave pretty much as normal, at least on my 
build (windows, vs2005, dSINGLE).  It starts at an angle, falls down and 
is pushed down the ramp next to the box.

Thanks,
Geoff
