Details:
Hi,
trying to connect from a 2.2.99 client to a 2.2.0 server makes the client
segfault. This is because some network packet types have changed in 2.2.99.
Moreover, a modified server can make an older 2.2.0 client segfault as well.
Now one can't obviously do much about a rogue server but maybe this should be
fixed to a more gracious behaviour.
I tried my luck at a simple patch for the trunk client as well as a more
thorough one. There is also a third patch attached for a typo in team support
code that also results in a segfault.
Cheers,
JHS
