Either the client is hoarding commands and then sending them all in one burst or the server has trouble keeping up, so the buffer (in the engine) eventually overflows. Said buffer is 1024 bytes IIRC.

Depends. Is there any way for you to determine if the bug is client- or server-side? Can you reproduce it on a local server?

- what were the configs of the server and the client at the time this happened?
- does the server sometimes stall for a short period of time?
