Server nickname change errors

[VAN1SH1NG]

Occasionally nickname changes cause an exception which prevents my ladder team assigner from working.

First time this happened the player said he was not even in the server when he changed his nickname, yet the exception during nickname change appeared in the server launcher log. I have noticed that sometimes players get d/c, etc and the server does not instantly recognize they are no longer in the server. I think this is what happened in this case.

Just happened again today and the player said he changed his nickname while a map was loading.

My team assigner fails because the new nickname never gets sent to the server log file when there is an exception, so the parser tries to assignteam with a now invalid nickname.

Technically I should be able to avoid this problem by having the parser also monitor the server launcher log for this exception, but it would be nice if this could be fixed.

If nothing else, get the nickname change log entry to go out even if there is an exception.
