Summary:
Contact forcest output in ForceReporter not correct

Detailed description
When I run a Forward Dynamics simulation of a tibia bouncing on a femur, the ForceReporter says there is a negative tibia_r force on the lateral side. This can't be correct or the two objects would be sucking together. The medial side has a positive force that is equal and opposite. My guess is that the headers are mismatched.
