We are still working nonstop on the linux server crash. We found and fixed several other problems in the process. I don't believe any of them are the cause(s) of the crash(es) that have been going on since the 22nd.

When you kill the server players clients time out and then get a lost connection to server. It would be cool to have something like "closeupdate" as a command that pops up a dialog after they get timed out that the server is currently updating and that they can reconnect when it is done.
