"Server crashing issues on multicore systems"
We had several problems with server crashes on middle/high load during map changes. After we've bound the bf2 process to a single core these problems disappeared. To bind a process to a single core you can use the "taskset" command under linux. You have to redo this after every server stop or restart. We use a cronjob to check the setting every 5 minutes. Thx to HSLAN for helping us at this issue!

General: This thread is a nice idea! I was looking for something like this many times before.
