[cod] Rcon Status Failure

[Joe Hunkeler]

I tested this theory while the server was running at around 30 people.  
It took four tries to get a status report from the server.  I tested it 
again when the traffic began to die and it worked flawlessly everytime.

Oh why oh why must UDP exist :P
TCP/IP SOCKETS ALL THE WAY!
