[1.0.5] Exploding (overheating) parts on staging

[MOARdV]

This may be "Not a Bug", but it feels a bit extreme if it is...

I am exploding decouplers (and fuel tanks) when staging a craft.

For instance, using a simple craft composed of a nose cone, 1.25m probe core, FL-T400 fuel tank, T-45 Swivel, decoupler, FL-T400 tank, and another Swivel, with the decoupler and upper stage T-45 activated by the same staging event, the decoupler and the empty fuel tank below it explode instantly, with this sort of message in the log:

I originally saw this in a modded install, but I reproduced the above with a completely unmodded 1.0.5 configuration, as well. Like I said up top, maybe this is by design, but it feel excessive to have lower stages exploding from exhaust heat.

Hi MOARdV, engine heat was reworked for 1.0.5

* Heating from engine exhaust rebalanced.
