Just keep the player/object on the original server until the new server
verifies that it has taken possession of the player/object. Something
along the lines of:
The international highway:
You see a signpost here, marking where Bubbaland leaves off and
Boffoworld begins.
> walk east (to Boffoland)
<remote server SEGV's>
<local server fails to recieve confirmation of remote server's
acceptance of player>
<local server puts player back where he/she was, takes necessary visual
steps>
Suddenly, a great chasm appears between you and Boffoland. You won't be
going *there* for a while...
> curse
You swear angrily.
