Bug Description

If a player hosts the game as observer and chooses an 8P map, anyone who tries to join (or even select the game) will crash. If the host changes the map to one with less players during the same session, players will still crash, he has to rehost.

Original game crash. Tested on CnCNet, so LAN game. I don't know how it works for Multiplayer.

Here's the full log on this:

Update: To force the crash, the host has to switch to 8P map from amap with less than 8 positions. This causes anyone who joins such game to crash. If host starts with an 8P map and players join, nothing will happen to them.
