Description Keith Nickum 2009-10-12 17:32:28 UTC
After emergin bsd-games, attempts to start the huntd daemon "fail" (no process is actually started, but no error message is reported). Also, attempting to connect to a hunt game (shortly after launching command):
> hunt: Version number mismatch. No go.
This gentoo-unrelated post seems relevant: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=342025
Noted in the fixes at the bottom: "Fix a bad cast in hunt that caused it to refuse to run on amd64 and likely also other 64 bit architectures."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge bsd-games
2. launch hunt
3. go through options (any options are fine), after trying to select a server, game errors out.

Actual Results:  
Game errors with "Version number mismatch. No go"

Expected Results:  
Game should begin at this point, or different error should occur (version numbers should not be mistmatched)
