thanks!

ODE takes O(n^2) storage space during each iteration, where n is the
sum of all the constraint dimensions (so for M contacts, n=3*M).
all of this space is allocated on the stack, which can occasionally
be a problem for windows. try increasing the stack size in MSVC
(i'm not sure how to do that).

always look on the ODE q12.org site for the latest stuff. you should
use the pre-v0.03 snapshots, which are much more recent.
