[bf1942] 32 bit versus 64 bit

[James Gurney]

For what it's worth, we run 64 bit Linux with the 64 bit BF2 server and 
we've not had a lot of crashes.. However, we don't run at 64 players, so 
we might not be encountering the same problem as you are. Back when we 
ran bf1942, it would crash almost exponentially more frequently with 
player count. 32 players = hardly ever. 40 = every day or so. 64 = 5 or 
6 times a day.
