[ut3] Ryan: Should we look into PhysX cards for our linux servers?

[[Apoc]Death]

As long as no one leaves the server and then returns, this seems a  
fine workaround...  I am still hanging the thing in the usual manner  
when I exit the server and then rejoin it.  If you think about it,  
this is precisely what a mapchange does, so perhaps this makes  
sense?  Who knows...  Hope it helps with the debugging.
