[bf1942] New build...

[wokka]

Thanks for the fast bug fix Ryan!

Do you have a command list or some better documentation on the dedicated
server than what came with the windows server?

Thanks

Ok, guys, thanks for your patience. Try this one:

http://icculus.org/betas/bf1942/bf1942-lnxded-betaupdate-build-103973014
2.tar.bz2

(that's a 6.6 meg download.)

(I'm a big fan of long filenames...it's an overcompensation for my DOS
3.1 days, I have no doubt.)

This version should (knock on wood) fix all the segfaults...at least, it
should fix all the ones that I got backtraces for. It will definitely
fix the crash on map restart for those that got that far, and some other
problems that were likely causing crashes on startup have been patched,
too.

That being said, I can't promise it will, since this will need more
broad testing to sort it out. If you still experience crashes on startup
and such, my apologies. Just let me know and we'll sort it out, but I'm
more confident.

To use, unpack the tarball over your old installation. It'll overwrite
the binaries and the README with new versions. This is just an update,
so you'll need the original tarball if you didn't have it already.

Note that this is just focusing on this nasty crashes right now so that
we can get around to more specific bug reports.

Good luck, everyone.
