[quake3] Freeze! & Installers

[Harsha Sri Narayana]

It seems my less than exhaustive testing previously didn't prove enough.
I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but I saved the terminal output and I
saved the error report produced by osx.

Tony asked if I was using non standard pk3 files.  I have mods installed and
I'm trying to connect to a server which would require that mod; I think it
was excessiveplus.  Is that what you meant?

I have an updated osx and I'm using rc2.

ps.  Why is it that I need to put all my mods and pak files in the
/Library/Application Support/Quake file rather than in the normal
/Application folder?  It's almost as if that's the real q3 folder and the
one in applications is just a front.
