Hi, Thanks for the answer. I was able to read the last lines through the linux console (started the server in a "screen" instance) no luck there. Darksun is not the map with the most ents either... However, I was able to reproduce the bug on my listen server (I'm not sure because the windows debugger couldn't tell me where he was looping) by suiciding via trigger_hurt at the begining of a round right after mapchange when players (bots in this case) are still joining (it only crashes in this rare situation, that could also explain why it only crashes in darksun, no other map has a trigger_hurt close enough to the spawn spot). The only thing that happens is that if you have a "hacking tool" and it touches a trigger_hurt it'll be moved to the player spawn spots. When I removed that I was unable to reproduce the crash. How can it be possible that a simple origin change causes an infinite loop? Somehow the area linkedlist got corrupted, probably theres something I don't know yet about origin changes? ^^ I solved the problem by deleting the item and respawning it at the desired origin. This seems to work, I'm not sure though because the linux servers took about 50h to crash :) I think it's because the chances of this situation to occur are not very high. We'll now take the risk and release PE, if it still crashes we'll have to make another patch... Thanks, Spin

The log probably stops because there is still text in the buffers. If you can get the buffers to flush after every line of text you might get more information before the inifinite loop leaves you no option, but terminate the process. Is there assembler code in your mod? What about writing the entity count into the log when it goes dangerously high? At least you would know if the entity count is always close to the limit when the crash occurs. How about the visibility in darksun. Maybe the map has more entities visible at a time?
