map cycling

I've done some reading, but it's unclear to me how to get map cycling to
work.

Mandrake Linux 9.0, starting a dedicated server from an init.d script
with:
  start)
        gprintf "Starting Quake2 Server: "
        cd /usr/local/games/quake2/
        setuidgid quake2 /usr/local/games/quake2/quake2 +set dedicated 1
+set rcon_password PASSWORD +set game fear > /dev/null >&1&
        touch /var/lock/subsys/quake2
        echo
        ;;

cat /usr/local/games/quake2/baseq2/config.cfg 
set dmflags "280084"
set hostname 'PigSty'
set Admin "puerco_mal at yahoo.com"
set deathmatch "1"
set maxclients "6"
set fraglimit "15"
set timelimit "15"
set public "0"
set allow_download "1"
set allow_download_players "1"
set allow_download_models "1"
set allow_download_sounds "1"
set allow_download_maps "1"
set maplist "q2dm1 q2dm2 q2dm3 q2dm4 q2dm5 q2dm6 q2dm7 q2dm8 space" s
// set maplist "mortis quickendm2 marics63" 1
// set maplist "q2dm1 q2dm7 mortis q2dm2 q2dm6 marics63 2dm3 q2dm5
quickendm2 q2dm4 q2dm8 space" 1

It was working (unreliably) for a little while with just:
set maplist "q2dm1 q2dm2 q2dm3 q2dm4 q2dm5 q2dm6 q2dm7 q2dm8 space" s

but attempting to add non-stock maps or anything from a .pak causes the
whole maplist command to be ignored as far as I can tell.

Any help appreciated,
