I'm using tribes2d.dynamic for my T2 game servers running on FC2. Seems to 
work ok.

Once upon a time I recall having to use one of those KERNEL_ASSUME 
environment variables, but I don't see it in my current script. An old 
script has this:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

I think this had something to do with a change to how saving the FPU state 
was done. It doesn't appear to be needed now.

With the advent of more multi-core CPU's, I expect to see more game server 
binaries make use of threading. There's some now in Battlefield 2's server.
