[bf1942] bf1942 exploit kills server

[Daniel Valois]

My bf1942 server seems to run ok. Until it crashes. I thought it was
logging but it's not. It's the first time I've ever needed to look at
the log files. It is at the latest build. What do I need to do to make
it write to all these empty files I have.
