Bug#599866: openarena-server: fairly frequent crashes in some configurations

[Simon McVittie]

Package: openarena-server
Version: 0.8.5-4
Severity: important

Tomas Glabasna reports that since 0.8.5, his OA server crashes at intervals
between half an hour and and 2 hours. I suspect this is a NULL dereference
in the game logic, which would have been hidden in versions that used the
bytecode interpreter (which has data at address 0). I'm looking into it.
