[crossfire] strange behaviour of movements with latest server

[Alex Schultz]

This sounds similar to the lag started getting recently on MF after a 
CVS update (same time a bunch of windows clients started crashing)... I 
managed to work around it  by disabling image caching. (It happened both 
in cfclient and gcfclient, in both verions 1.7.0 and CVS of the client 
all running under linux). Don't know if this is the same thing, but it 
sounds similar.

     Also, while character is frozen, commands like say, shout are also frozen, but

     taken into consideration after the unfreeze.
