[quake3] Re: BUG: netchan queue is not properly initialized

[dyn]

I don't know why it happens and i am not feeling like fixing Q3
network protocol. This is something id Software should do in first
place since quake 3 is really unreliable when you go over 32 clients,
even more, without allocating more memory/pool size it crashes a lot
of times.

I provided one solution by ignoring CS_ZOMBIES which are all recently
disconnected clients and another by removing 'bad' clients instead of
just crashing for every little error. I was hoping some of you may
investigate this problem and maybe use my workarounds until network
code is fixed. I  really have no time now for this. Emails i sent in
past few days are pretty much all i can contribute for now, because of
other projects going on.
