Well I just tried the test case for a few minutes, but I couldnt get the
server to crash at all, maybe thats a different issue then and maybe just
for Linux...

Subject: Re: [hlds] engine.dll crashes, dumps for VALVE
Sorry if you just wanted Valve to look at these. However, from what
the mdmp is saying (and if I'm understanding it correctly) is the
engine jumped to a null location. Since there are absolutely no null
checks before a jump occurs (sorry if I'm using incorrect terminology,
as well), the server will crash. This is what happened in
CSS_crash_srcds.exe_20110104132753_1.dmp,
TF2_crash_srcds.exe_20110101130045_1.dmp, and
TF2_crash_srcds.exe_20110102154253_1.dmp (only ones I've looked at).
Again, this is only valid if I'm understanding the dump correctly,
it's trying to jump to 0x0000000.
I filed a bug on AM a while ago, foolishly thinking it was an issue
with SDKTools. To keep this brief, it wasn't.
For reference, here's the bug that I filed:
https://bugs.alliedmods.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4767
There's a SourcePawn test case there that will crash SRCDS (CS:S) near
flawlessly every time.
I hope this helps, crashes absolutely suck. I can reproduce at least
one server freeze on Linux (101% CPU is just delightful), if anyone
wants to seriously look into this. I also hope I wasn't incorrect, and
sent this potentially misinformation filled mail out.
Kyle.

Hey Valve!
How about fixing these engine.dll crashes that happen almost daily on my
servers:

Sadly there is another crash with CSS that hangs the server and doesnt
generate a dump, but fixing the above would still be great.
