Ah, great! :)
Mat^2 has done alot so far, he's kept us all very well updated in the IRC channel ( http://www.aceofspadeswiki.com/index.php?title=IRC ) which has actually been pretty inspirational to follow.
Can't wait to see the next update.

Man, that sucks.
I wondered why people would choose such obscure numbers..
Certainly need a fix.

As izzy said, 10 | 64 (the position of the 'green flag taken bit') = 74, so this is an actual problem.

this explains why my server's caplimit mysteriously increases itself to 74 even though i set it to 10 in the config

Hey again Ben. I was having some weird issues with the protocol, and then I realized that with the new caplimit variable introduced, you forgot that the "team flag taken" flags take 2 bits from the 4th byte in the initial player data, which you are now also using for the caplimit variable (which is 7 bits). A byte is 8 bits - not 9 bits.

This means that if the green flag is taken, it will set the last bit in the caplimit variable, effectively making it a lot higher than it actually is. Also, if you set your caplimit variable to 127, it will overwrite the green flag taken bit, and the green players will not have a flag.

Fix this, Ben.
