[crossfire] Strange problem -- suddenly

[Todd McCoy]

Well that certainly would explain why I was getting the same behavior on 
both systems at the same time... and then they mysteriously began 
working again at the same time... I was very perplexed by that....  
thanks for the tip on using the -server switch.  That will be a nice way 
to skip the server list at startup since I amost always connect to my 
private server.

Thanks for the prompt replies folks.

      It might be because of the large listing of stale servers in the

      For now, you can get around this by adding the -server option, so to
