Hi, did you know that ODE 0.5 has been improved on quite a lot since
its release, we're now on v0.8 which was released in late January
2007. Please try to upgrade to this version because I think that a lot
of your problems may magically disappear.

With regards to your problem, I'm not sure what you mean by 'doesn't
occur everytime' -- if you've got a constant problem with some
triangles not 'working' then ensure that the winding order is
consistent across the surface - I believe that (and I'm not sure for
what purpose) OPCODE trimeshes are unidirectional.

Anyway, first thing would be to try 0.8 and see if that 'just works'

Good luck,
Dave
