Is it already fixed? Maybe we can influence it if the design is
flawed as it's usually the case with such protocols.

Could you do it a branch or delay checking it into cvs until its
tested and sufficiently stable? I'd like to release qstat ASAP after
Quake4 comes out and would prefer if qstat wasn't broken at that
time. We can do another release if the first game that uses the new
gamespy protocol shows up.

That's cool. Would it be possible to carefully ask that guy about
the master server? Would be nice if I finally had out of the box
support for that in xqf.
