[Opensim-users] Physics Issue with 0.6.6

[Mic Bowman]

FWIW... I noticed changes in the behavior of rolling balls about the time
that the physics was changed to accommodate the different materials (I don't
recall the version offhand). I've since tried every combination of materials
to get balls to roll like I want with no real success.
