In the middle of a game, ut2k4 simply tends to crash. I have the impression that 
this happens mostly when there're a lot of characters simultaneously on the 
screen.

Relevant information about my system:
Distro:Gentoo Linux
Kernel: 2.4.22
Chipset: nforce2
videocard:ATI Radeon 8500
X: 4.3.0
ati-videodrivers: 3.2.8 (i know there're newer drivers, but these simply offer 
the best performance in ut2kx)
