I commented out most of the map interrupt code in the tigermap
routine.  I left one in place just before the tiger download starts.
Let me know if it fixes the segfault problem.  I'm not seeing that
problem here.  It's possible that some of the return code in there
did the wrong thing.  This mod simplifies it a great deal so that we
can figure out where the problem lies.

You should see the mods in CVS sometime tomorrow.  Please exercise
map draw interrupts and the tiger code as much as possible to see if
it fixes the problem for you.  If it's tied to tiger download
timeouts, it might be harder to simulate the conditions that caused
the original segfault.  Plugging/unplugging of ethernet cables or
downing of interfaces might be required to test it.

If anyone wants advanced copies of files (before they get to the
anon CVS server), let me know.
