Trying to network 3 instances of Xconq under either Windows or Linux results in a message about trying to assign 4 players to 3 sides (even though there is not a fourth player and the indepside is not an active participant), and then lots of screwiness follows, including one of the 3 players getting kicked out of the game. I personally don't feel like fixing this bug right now. Eric
