It seems when there are a certain # of Continuum obs slots filled it will bust you. If this is the case can it instead say "Observer queue is full" or something more useful than: Attempting to observe on port 2593... Calling continuum.us.netrek.org on port 2593. Got connection. 1) Got read() of -1. Server dead 1) read(): errno = 2, WSALast = 10054 Shit! Ghostbusted! BTW, I can connect fine to the wait queue.
