Fixed.
The reason of the bug was that I missed a variable name change in one place
when buffer reserve allocations were implemented and this caused that up to
three ending HeightFieldPlane pointers might be not initialized.

Fixed.
I have loosed tolerance to 1e-2, as precision for float is really poor.
Also I have fixed averaging algorithm to work for three and more vectors and
changed the case when several contacts completely compensate each other so
that result contact would be removed from array instead of generating dummy
normal of (1; 0; 0).
