About
=====
[THC] Starlight has encountered a bug in QuakeWorld 2.30 when recording 
multilevel demos.

When such a demo is played back, just after the demo switches
maps the QW client crashes with the following message:
"Demo message > MSG_MAXLEN"

Here's how to reproduce this bug:
 1. Connect to a QW server.
 2. Start a recording.
 3. Change map on the server. (still while recording)
 4. wait a while then stop the recording.

He asked several people to go through this procedeure and create
a crashing demo. The funny thing is that some of them could
reproduce the bug and the others got a working demo.
But all crashing demos crash on *every* computer.

It might just happen with certain types of computers but that
sounds very strange. It's quite irritating for him since it's
supposed to work.

He'd only tried this with 2.30 and from what he can recall it did
work before with earlier version, he's not sure though.


How To Use
==========
Copy the QWD files into your qw directory.
Start QuakeWorld, now type PLAYDEMO BUG1 (or BUG2 or BUG3) and "watch"
