Easy way to avoid that in future is to have the attach to node root when
applying physique

Thanks Jon!  You're right of course I had attached the physique modifier to 
the Biped's center and not the pelvis.  Too bad I noticed after 8 hrs of 
tweaking :P  And now that I've reread through some of the tutorials I notice

little reminders all over -- like "The important thing to remember is that 
the physique modifier needs to be attached to the _pelvis_, not the center 
of mass object."

Thanks Jon and everyone else who helped...
