[mohaa] More codesalat: ALPHA2.

[Tim Ladd, Jr.]

Ok are you ready for this:
Can't bash w/ any weapons besides handgun.
Crouching looks like you are under the ground.
Jumping is weird you sorta half jump.
Missing sounds.
Missing ammo.
No smoke grenades. Except w/ the german grenade gun which doesn't work.
No binoculars
Ending animation is screwed. None of the guys have weapons in their hands.
No music.
 I think that's it for now enclosing a screenshot of the crouching.
All of the above happens to everyone on the server.
Server is up here: 216.206.157.129
Anyone is welcome to join although im sure it'll be up and down heh =)

Unpack this over your Spearhead installation to replace the Alpha1 bins:

The event queue memory corruption looks like
yet-another-broken-memory-pool-algorithm...I replaced it with straight
malloc() and free() calls, and valgrind didn't detect a single buffer
overrun...which means it was the memory pool manager itself causing
trouble.

Might be more problems (dunno if the memory pool is not used elsewhere, or
just the Event class caused problems...), but this cleaned up my
reproducable crashbug, and I could call a mapvote/change levels with my
one win32 client on the map.

So, in short, this might be much more stable, but we won't know for
certain until you guys pound on it. Have fun.
