localize interface returns incorrect X/angle info when getting poses

[Jeff Rousseau]

Hello,

I've got a client written using the latest javaclient SVN connecting
to a Player server (version 2.0.4) that all it does is try and read
localized hypothesis and print the resulting pose's Xs, Ys & angles.
However it doesn't act as expected.  Using Stage for my sim, no matter
where I put my robot the X value ALWAYS reads "1.4E-45", but the Y
value seems to be correct.  In addition the angle (using getPa() )
seems to return the X value instead of the angle (seems odd!).  Not
only that, but for some reason my calls to "isDataReady" always fail
after one success...

I've implemented a similar client in c++ for reference to check to see
if was a problem with my socket/server/etc and it seems to work just
fine (the c++ code is also found below)

PS I'm new to Player's javaclient implementation so if I did something
stupid cut me some slack ;-)
