Race condition in char server: please update

[meko]

Handling of item storage has been split into a separate packet, but while this fixed a bug, it introduced a race condition, which when exploited allows to duplicate items.

A new patch has been issued and the exploit is no longer reproducible. If you are using a version between e8affc4 and f30edc7 (inclusive) make sure you update ASAP to d2af893 (stable) or later version and compile it.
