There is a glitch in Minecraft 1.3.2 and it is leaving "ghost" sessions on the server.
What i mean by this is, that people are kicked, or just leave the server but a duplicate session of theres just stays on the server, and we cannot remove it.

When the server restarts, it struggles to close this connection to the server, causing a time out.
we then have to forcekill the server from the console and reboot.

Because currently due to the activities over the past few days, only a limited amount of people have this access (me +the other owners)
Daloria tried to wake me up so i could come fix it, but i'm extremely lazy and a deep sleeper and didnt wake up till 8:15, so thats why there was a 15-20minute delay.



Does this help?
