Other than that I have been too busy adding it yet? No.
I've just committed the change, so collide2() is available now. (note 
that SF still has problems with their cvs service and anonymous cvs is 
currently disabled, so you might have to wait some more days until you 
see that change).

Well, the problem is that dBodyDestroy does not only remove the body 
from a world but it also destroys the body object. The function is 
called in the destructor of the Body object so it might get called when 
you delete all references to your body.
As far as I know there is no ODE function that only removes the body 
from the world without destroying the body object.
