[bf1942] Researching de-listing

[Andrew Armstrong]

Try removing the brackets ().

Gamespy uses brackets () to evaluate server expressions (eg, it sends a 
query: (servername = "whatever") and you may be breaking that server query 
string.

Try calling youe server: MA Linux

Wait 5 minutes, and see if it lists itself.
