[bf1942] Server questions

[Darcy]

Yea, it's the beta7 patch. It supposedly fixed a lot of bugs/CPU issues,
which, at least i've had no problems with   :)
Got 4 players on the server right now, we'll see how it goes. Hopefully i'll
get a core dump here and I can compare it to the one i've seen in the forums
