* (bug 2784) help to prevent reliable command overflow in cases when a slow

client is loading the map on a busy server. Specifically, hold back all
  configstring update commands while the client is CS_PRIMED.  Once the
  client goes from CS_PRIMED to CS_ACTIVE, send the cleint commands for
  updating each of the configstring indexes which were updated while the 
  client was CS_PRIMED.
