Hi Tim,

I think your diffs are fine and should be commited. However, for the 
Solaris/Sparc problem, they made no difference.. I still got the crash in 
blitVQQuad32fs().

I have also noticed that the dedicated server crashes in its release 
version (again in botlib) whereas the debug version works fine:

$ gdb \
/export/home/vcojot/SVN/icculus/quake3-Solaris/code/unix/releasesparc/SunOSq3ded
(gdb) r +set vm_game 1 +set vm_cgame 1 +set vm_ui 1 +set sv_pure 1 +set ttycon 0 +map q3dm17

I'll try to gather more info when I get home tonight on a faster machine..

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars - on stars where no human race is
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.       - Robert Frost
