I suggest limiting the player numbers to 32, as I already changed in the
server source. There are fields in the netrek protocol that use a 5-bit
player number or bitfields for each player. With >32 players things get
worse, the server has to fall back to large packets, and in some cases I think
it just doesn't work properly.
