Ugh, I completely misunderstood you.  You were talking about restarting
a game without exiting the server, not running two games on the same
server at the same time!  Doh!  And since the size might vary from game
to game, we really need to reallocate.  Ok, I am with you.

BTW, what is the set of commands to do it (restart a game)?  I would do
it too, if I knew how.  And how the hell can I get the complete list of
commands?!?!
