[bf1942] 32 bit versus 64 bit

[James Gurney]

We didn't run BBO, or have anything which hit the rcon very frequently, 
so I don't think that was it. Anyway, with the BF2 crashes, I've done 
dumps of the core files so hopefully some day Andreas will have a chance 
to look into it. For us though, it's not a big deal since it happens so 
infrequently. Even if we ran a 64 player server, most people want to 
play on ranked servers, so it's not going to fill up to that level, so 
it's even less likely to crash..
