[Opensim-users] Physics quit working?

I had this issue with the trunk a few months ago.  Per chance, are you 
still using xml files for your region's config?  In my case I found the 
solution was to go around and redo all of the RegionName.xml files into 
the new style Regions.ini.  After doing so physics magically began 
working again.
