[Johnny got his gun]

Actually I have info that hitzones in fact are NOT working under Linux, ONLY under Windows. Working on this...

Update: I just tested this on a Linux server myself and it seems to be working just as good as on Windows. Maybe this trouble is caused under some (as of yet) unknown circumstances.

I'll be talking to the ones having trouble in the meantime and if you have a problem with this feature (WC3FT among other plugins uses it) you can contact me.
