...with error "cl.snap.serverTime < cl.oldFrameServerTime". This is almost certainly related to the revision 91 fix:

"Patch from Tim Angus, to fix a longstanding bug
in the server, wherein running the server for
more than 24 hours would cause the game to
exhibit weirdness as described here:

Comment 1 Tim Angus 2005-10-28 17:12:09 EDT 
This is essentially a race condition, whereby a client processes a snapshot before it has processed a valid gamestate, the result being the trip of a sanity check of the server time.

The fix sends an amended time to the clients if they haven't yet acked the new gamestate.

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.
