Badly balanced string trees could cause problems on world reboot.

This issue has been resolved.

Not entirely sure how to reproduce this:

[image removed]

but it seems to happen on world reboots. Don't know what kind of information would be useful to help debug this, if there's anything we can do ask other than it didn't happen on 510 and has happened on a few 511 builds to our knowledge.

Bug marked as security bug in case the strings had anything identifying. (ok well security issues don't work here)

Lummox JR	I can't act on this without more information. Does it happen every time on a world reboot? If so then that's something I can test.

Somepotato	So far it seems to happen every time the server is rebooted; with world.Reboot Fresh starts seem to go off without a hitch.

Lummox JR	As I suspected, this is a problem with the reboot logic only. The sanity check I put in to address this has taken care of the problem.
