yeah that's what happens, the server never drops just hangs on map 
changes. been a long going battle for a fix, but it will probably be a 
while before we see one.
on your client you can change the timeout cvar (sv_timeout i think) to 
60 seconds and you will 99% of the time connect back to the server 
before the time is up although since no one else ups there timeout value 
you will probably be in a dead server since most people think that the 
server just crashed and goto a different one.
