Hi guys,
I've just witnessed a funny, but yet disturbing, exploit on one of the tremulous servers (I think it was the ESA one). To be brief: I was a granger, sitting in a hovel. Then another granger came along and deconstructed the hovel I was sitting in. Next thing is... I re-appear at a seemingly random location of the map (maybe 0,0,0... no idea). On this specific map that bug was rather fatal, because I probably could've built eggs and/or Overminds outside of the map's normal collision area (i.e. not within the normal playing-zone, so humans can not reach the location I was at). 
I'm not very familiar with the Q3 codebase, but it seems like a server-sided bug to me, which is (hopefully) easy to fix. Hope this helps.
