UPDATE!!!
Roger Wolfson, the head of Halo PC's support team from way back when, has managed to do the unthinkable and INCREDIBLY AWESOME by fixing up the problem in an official patch. This hotfix comes in the form of a zip archive containing fixed versions of halo.exe, haloce.exe, haloded.exe and haloceded.exe. You can find the technical crapola and download on the bungie.net forums. A local mirror will follow soon.
As an added bonus, this fix breaks bitterbanana's aimbot. Suck it down, botfags! (Sadly, a few good hacks like Yelo battery also broke. Oh well.)

Programmer Luigi Auriemma, known for finding the "haloboom" and "haloloop" crash exploits in older versions of Halo, has found another haloloop exploit in Halo's v1.07 Dedicated Server, allowing someone to crash servers by way of sending them into an infinite loop, a la previous versions.
Since Halo for the PC is no longer supported by Bungie, Gearbox, and Microsoft, it is highly unlikely that there will be an official patch for this. (EDIT: I just ate my words with a side of fries.) However, one of our community members has created a quick workaround of his own.
Please note that this workaround is offered as-is with no expression of warranty or anything like that (I'm bad at legal jargon). Use this patch at your own risk. Apparently, this fix doesn't work on the Halo dedicated server for Vista.
