[bf1942] server fail?

[Aubrey King]

YOU ARE THE MAN!  Damn underscores.  Can we maybe put a note about that in
the new conf or the readme somewhere?  Just in case others are as dumb as
I was?  Assuming the README will be updated during the 1.31 release.

So far as the proposed rpm goes, I think it should be called bf1942d.rpm
:)

Also.. I'm no Debian geek, but.. anyone want to try a dpkg?  No reason to
exclude friendlies. :)
