Updated the client, and issue remains. Unluckily I can't take the server
offline for a day and work on it right now. (Last time I tried to update it
was offline for a day, I was busy for a day, and in the end I had to go
back anyway...)

Maybe somebody can try this sequence with a newer server? So that we at
least know whether the newer clients don't work with older servers anymore?
Only takes a minute...
