Thanks - already running on Windows Server 2003.  I suspect the issue is
addons and suspect statsme, versus mani.

Frazer,
     As a baseline for you, I just moved both of my game servers over to a
datacenter to a Server2003 box and they have been totally crash free since
the update ... and as you might guess ...for the HL2DM server I don't use
any server addons at all.
