Sorry, I just checked and I am actually using the trunk, not latest. 
The problem is that I'm getting large rotational values, and I'm only 
ever seeing a horizontal offset in T (top right value in projection 
matrix) as non-zero, even though the cameras are at slightly different 
heights.  I can send the saved tar.gz file that contains the images used 
and the ost.txt created if it helps.
