Bug in Linux Server 1.3beta

[Jari Tulilahti]

I installed the Dedicated Linux 1.3beta server, made a totally clean 
installation (edited all the configs etc...)

It works, BUT:

Playing in the server is really frustrating. There is no network-lag (all 
players have ping under 60) but the server seems to lag by itself. Game 
runs 2-3 seconds and "pauses", runs 2-3 seconds and "pauses"... 

I've tried all the maps, the same happens with every map, so it's not 
map-dependent problem.

I'm using Red Hat Linux release 7.2 with all the possible updates from Red 
Hat.

Machine information:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 8
model name      : Celeron (Coppermine)
stepping        : 10
cpu MHz         : 1002.307

...so it seems that even the CPU-load is quite OK (at the moment there 
were only 4 players though) and no swapping occur...
