Alright, this is just plain amusing. This article mentions a a bug in the Warcraft 3 beta that has already been fixed with a patched exe that is only available to those who have pirated it. Up until now, i assumed that Blizzard released an official fix as well, but now it looks like official testers will have to wait for the next patch to get this major bug fixed.
You should see another small balance patch shortly with some minor changes including the fix to the starfall crash
