I too have this problem. But was able to fix it.

Please check your grep again. I was able to find the strings "color_fg"
and "color_bg" in a multitude of files in the maps directory.
Reading thru the changelog tells me that somewhere around version .92.x the
color_bg and color_fg keywords were depreciated. All I did was construct a
little for loop that went and got rid of those strings from all the
maps that they existed in. Now the server does not bail when it gets to a
situation like that. I suggest you do the same. This problem was demonstrable
also on the recently published server address on this list.
.94.1 seems generally buggy for me. I have a bunch of students that play
on my server quite often and it crashes with regularity. Also the instant
map refresh is kinda annoying. Yes I applied the key fix posted to this list
but crashes necessitated that I put .94.0 back up.
Hopefully later this week I will take some time to look at where the crashes
are ocurring and give an attempt at providing useful debugging information.
