[ODE] Bounciness

[Hampus]

Hi Bob,

If you get an immediate hop after initializing your biped it could be  
that the bipeds feets are penetrating the ground or that you  
initialized it and violated some motor stops.

Theese two things could cause ODE to add enough counter force to make  
it immediately hop.

Cheers,
Hampus
