[cod] 1.2a patch and connection timeout

[Ryan C. Gordon]

> Ryan can you common on this???

This has been reported, but we don't have a reliable reproduction case 
in-house:

   http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2655

If it was totally working and then for no apparent reason stopped 
working, that suggests there's a piece of code that doesn't gracefully 
handle not being able to talk to the master server, but I don't know.

I'll almost certainly need to ssh into someone's server to poke around 
to fix this one.
