PLease help, i am dead in the water

[Brigham Stevens]

All the info i have is below, thought I would send again in case any 
late night owls might be able to help. The server has been running great 
since 1.6 was released but now it is dead, segfaults when I start it! I 
am on RH linux 7.3 (OLD I KNOW!) but it worked fine until today with no 
problems. I have not changed the server at all, except for upgrading 
forums PHP - but no way that would affect bf1942. Please help.... I am 
dead in the water!
