* Don't let threads block on output to another player thread's
socket. Such blocking violates basic design assumptions and can
cause all kinds of grief. In particular, it causes player session
hangs under Windows with 4.2.20. Broken since the introduction of

* Fix stack smash in lrange, shoot and execute. Remote holes, and
