4259: Game crash on hard drive spin down

Description

Occasionally while playing my hard drive spins down, presumably on a sort of power saving mode. However, DAOC does not handle this well, and while waiting for it to spin up again, the game freezes and 95% of the time crashes before the HDD gets back up to speed.

This is resolved by me playing some music off the hard drive while the game is running, to ensure it stays spinning. However, it would be much better if this was not required, as I'm sure the bug will affect other people too.

Relevant details:
Running Asus TF100 with HDD in docking keyboard, which likely has power saving settings.

Reproduction Steps

1. Run game on a docking HDD
2. Play for a bit
3. ?

Intended Behavior

Probably needs some kind of code to keep HDD spinning while game is running.
