[ut3] Server seems to run as nothing is wrong, but nobody canconnect

[BasP]

I've written my own version of the PHP example from that page a while back 
and my usually full public server nicely return it's information when 
players can't connect anymore (nicely telling me there's 0/12 players 
online). As the server usually is full during certain hours of the day, I 
just restart it when it hits 0 players during those hours.
