[cod] Getting out of memory for certain maps

[Markus Fischer]

Hi,

ok, thanks .. now that I call a "Wow!" effect, quite a negative one.

Sorry for rolling up such an old topic, it must be as COD4 is available 
for sometime and I just jumped onto the scene playing it and with my server.

So given the long time it already exists and that we're at Patch level 
1.7, it conclude that the developers did this deliberately and will not 
remove/fix this?

I'm now unsure who is the "developer" in this case, as I found this list 
and icculus.org by searching for the Linux dedicated binary but I'm 
unsure what the connection is between icculus.org and IW?

I mean, doing something like this is certainly not something community 
developers would impose onto their users ...

thanks and .. still puzzled,
- Markus
