To anyone who is running CE ghostcubes, please apply the following fixs.
File : cube.ghost/iolib.c
Line : 132, which should contain "newblock();"
Action: Append "qp->flg = 1;" to line 132.
This bug causes the ghost cube to needlessly delay the sending of
the second and succeeding fragments in a multi-fragment message, and
makes the sending of long messages (>996 bytes) extremely slow.
File : cube.ghost/ghost_rem.c
Function: "main()"
Location: 3rd lines following "while(1)", which contains
"if(acklist) delay = ..."
The "delay" variable is the retransmit timer in mille-seconds. If it is
set to a value that is too low, the network can become very congested.
Set it to a more sensible value, such as 3000.
If you do updates over the network, now is a good time to get an update.
