[bf1942] massive clients crush on linux 1.45 server

[Michael]

I've seen the same thing happen on mine. It's running DC, doesn't matter
what map. happened to me a few times. I was actually on a voice server
with a bunch of people running off the same ip at the time. We didn't
loose voice so connection was good, not even a bump in voice. everybody
got dropped at the same time.

I've been in the server by myself and it has even happened with one player
also.

It might be of help that I am using the same RH kernel as you, just the
i686 one for PIII's. But ob7 was solid as a rock for me on the same
system.
