No, this is in the "phystut" program in Crystal Space.  As I said, this is
a box landing on another box and not a box hitting a plane.

Yes, I'm using the CVS version.  Providing a simple test case is rather
complicated by the fact that it uses the Crystal Space infrastructure so
perhaps you would be best off downloading Crystal Space...  I suppose I
could try to reproduce it in the box stacking test.

Hmm, okay.
