[bf1942] crashes on connect/mapchange...

[Killing]

It does still die but it does seem random. Sometimes
I can sometimes I cant play, some times it crashes just
after map changes. It seems the same on both 6.1 and 7.1

The men in the know have the stack trace's of both the
crash cases I've found 1 of which agrees with Linux 1 so
its not a FreeBSD emulation error.
In fact the only time I couldn't get a Linux port running fine
was avp2.

I'd also be willing to put some effort into FreeBSD native ports
under NDA etc if its possible.

That would be mutt when PGP-signing messages; I'll try
not signing and see if this is inline.

The 6.1 port dies whenever a player connects, guess I'll try
7.1 now.

I'd be willing to put forth some effort (programming or otherwise)
if EA/DICE/etc would be willing to allow another (perhaps unsupported)
port to be released.

In the mean time...  Due to problems with both the 6.1 and 7.1
linux_base ports with various applications (Netscape 7 vs. java,
etc), I've been meaning to put together a port with libraries
that work well with most applications (perhaps Redhat 8.0 or
Debian 3.0).  Depending on the feedback here on which distros
Just Work[tm]
