Potential bug: MK1 pod launches kerbals who attempt EVA

[CaptainShark]

This is a rather odd issue I've encountered since the last patch:

- When using the MK1 command pod, and attempting to leave it, the pod's ladder seems to launch my kerbals

- I first encountered it while in orbit (needless to say that didn't end well)

- I later found that it did the same thing while in atmosphere as well.

- From a horizontal position the force is sufficient to catapult a Kerbal fairly high (high enough to be above one of the long fuel tanks and to dunk them substancially underwater on the return trip downward)

- Same goes for horizontal

- This seems to happen most often when SAS is on (whether or not there is an SAS module or reaction wheel for me)

- It doesn't seem to happen when getting back onto the ladder, only on initial exit

- It also doesn't seem to happen right off the launch pad, but rather only after some period of flight

Yep. Kerbal launching seems to be a favorite past time in 0.25. If you're not opposed to adding mods (assuming you want the problem gone), I've created a module that fixes the problem.
