I have noticed that in a few occations that (.so) files get corrupted and I need to overwrite them with new ones. Thats even with a graceful shutdown. 95%+ of the time its a .so in amxmod that gets corrupted, only a few times its a binary from the hlds package.
I believe it has todo with that I share the .so's over a couple of servers and that I shut them down at the same time.
