Subject: [bf1942] Failure to open ports

Using the xmas build, if I restart from the command line (ssh) the server 
starts pretty reliably, but if I restart from a webscript (PHP issuing same 
command using sudo), the server exhibits the "trying to bind to 
255.255.255.255" behavior. It only opens the remote admin port, but no 
GameSpy or player ports. I'm suspecting this is some kind of timing bug 
regarding restarts, perhaps with the sockets not getting shut down cleanly 
when a SIGTERM is received so they're not available immediately when it 
comes back up. (But I have a 6 second delay between stop and start and it 
still fails.)

In my ServerSettings.con:

game.serverInternet 1
game.setServerIP 66.28.14.59
game.setServerPort 14567
