send all connected clients a disconnect when killed (482 bytes, patch)

Description Tony J. White 2006-05-02 17:00:28 EDT 
If you send a running dedicated server a kill signal, it will not send "disconnect" messages to all the connected clients.  This causes the clients to hang.

This one line patch seems to work.

This is important to those of us who use init scripts for starting/stopping dedicated servers.

Fixed in latest revision.
Comment 3 Tony J. White 2006-05-05 14:18:56 EDT 
Very sorry.

The line needs to be SV_Shutdown(NULL) not SV_Shutdown().

I will test patches more thouroughly in the future.

Oh, and you've fixed that before applying...  Nevermind.

Setting a QA contact on all ioquake3 bugs, even resolved ones. Sorry if you get a flood of email from this, it should only happen once. Apologies for the incovenience.
