[cod] Linux Server 1.41d sometimes crashes on loadingmp_uo_stanjel

Hi Mark.

Took a quick look at one server I have with just a 32 man server.

Should I worry about anything here? I was thinking of rebooting and seeing how long it takes to use it all.

    I'm looking into this.

    --ryan.


  I think I just got bombed with mail from this list, and this single sentence
  is the most significant sustenance., and near and dear to my heart.

  Please, as Ryan asks, put the flame out. No one should have an ego here
  except Ryan. :-)

  On the CPU issues, it would so appear there will be no quick fix for this,
  but the patch in to 1.1d sure was fast. Kudos Ryan to the quick work on
  this!

  I have found that it is common knowledge now that you can crash the linux
  server via the method described.   I see them dropping like fly's.

  Just my two cents for what that is worth:

  I think likely, this is the most urgent issue at the immediate moment for
  most concerned.  I think we all realize that there will be variations of
  CPU load from map to map, etc.  I believe I saw Ryan comment that this
  would require looking in to for both the WIn and Linux versions. (Correct
  me if I am wrong. I do not wish to put words in anyones mouth).

  The best way we can probably help Ryan is by cutting his reading
  back. Post if you think it has not been said already. Me Too's are
  killers of bandwidth, and at the end of his development cycle, and
  the hours I see him responding day and night, nearly all 7 days
  past, he is amazing and dedicated.  I would hire him in an instant.
  (But I suspect he loves his job indeed!)
