Just had this happen again with all tf2 servers, after forcing a hard-reset i went through the logs and found that every srcds_i486 process had seg faulted throwing tons of:
kernel: srcds_i486[18318]: segfault at e99b02b8 ip f6e9adbb sp ffd10ad0 error 4 in materialsystem_i486.so[f6e05000+171000] kernel: srcds_i486[20803] general protection ip:10528178 sp:fff9352c error:0 kernel: srcds_i486[593]: segfault at fc9f04a8 ip f6eebdbb sp ffd61b30 error 4 in materialsystem_i486.so[f6e56000+171000] kernel: srcds_i486[2654] trap invalid opcode ip:e6e8640 sp:ffed145c error:0 Is the solution is to create some kind of script to check for runaway processes and kill them?
