[mohaa] Buffer Overflow Fix and The Object Spawn Fix

[George C]

Best to get the fix from the source - http://icculus.org/betas/mohaa/?M=A

fixes buffer overflow with AA
Spearhead users see spearhead fix

- Several buffer overflows fixed.
- Grenade animation crash fixed (remove your workarounds!)
- UBoat spawn fixed (no need to patch this binary for it!)

This is in the "beta" directory, but if the last build worked for you, this 
one should be solid, too. Once I get thumbs up from the usual suspects, I'll 
move it out of the beta directory and announce it to the world, but you 
should probably feel free to consider this build stable in the meantime.

All admins are encouraged to upgrade. Thanks to Luigi for pointing out a lot 
of these issues (and providing proof-of-concept code to demonstrate them, 
which helped immensely in fixing them quickly).

--ryan.

As ryan quoted all of the above fixes are in the binary.

I run the 07292004 AA binary which I have tested and can confirm that ryans 
efforts do prevent the exploits that were mentioned.
Thank you ryan.
