[mohaa] Reload Map bug, reappeared in latest Binaries.

[Heikki Kokko]

I found this in my MOHAA mail archive. I hope this is enough to point you to
the right direction, I would believe that you have access to the old mails
on this list. At least you can see ca. when this issue has been discussed.

I searched high and low for this a few months back.  Found several copies
that only had one of the two fixes applied.  The only reference to the fix
that had both issues addressed was a dead link.  I find the author of the
fix on this mailing list and emailed him about this fix.  He's since moved
on to a new game (i think) and deleted the fix.  He was kind enough to
provide me with directions on making the fix myself, which i've posted here:

Basically, i had to hex edit the file to change the reload commands to
something obscure.

HTH!
