ut2004 crashes when joining certain servers.

[Rick B]

Hi everyone, having problems recently with the game crashing trying to
join the Death Warrant and UNR servers. I try to join, and the game
immediately crashes every time, and it left this message in the log file:

I'm using Gentoo and recently the Athlon-XP based machine that it was
built on experienced some difficulties and died. This new system is a
Dual-Core Opteron but I'm still using the Athlon built system from the
old machine and it seems like ever since I started using this Gentoo
build on my new machine is when this all started.


Looking at the logfile above, can anyone point me in the right direction
to fix this?
