FIXES

- Fixed a client crash related to queuing too many invalid build commands
("crash hack").

They fixed the crashhack which has been dominating the ladder for the past two weeks. Impressive!

It's almost as huge as my ideas for a new map.

Crash hack consisted of a little program people used to issue their workers about 10.000 invalid build orders. This caused the opponent's game to crash, because of a stack overload, while the hacker was protected from crashing by their nasty program. This granted the hacker a free win. Caused a lot of guys to go 100-0 in ladder, because for about 4 days there was no anti-hack.

However, even though we already had an anti-hack program, it's not needed anymore now, thanks to Blizzard.
