Numerical instability of spherical pendulum

Hi,
I am trying to simulate a spherical pendulum. The equation of motion of the spherical pendulum are:

So far, I was able to simulate the equation of motion with a ode45 solver. However I experiencing numerical instabilities when the phi angle approach zero.
Does any one have an idea to get rid off these numerical instabilities?
Thank you in advance,
Bas

Bas, the plus sign in your equation does look a bit strange. Shouldn't that be a minus instead?

Angular momentum is conserved (constant), not azimuth rate. The equation for the angular momentum is
m*l^2*sin(phi)^2*thetadot = const.
Therefore, when phi decreases, thetadot increases, just like described above.
