We're getting a large ping spike since the update.  It goes from a ping of
30, then jumps
to over 1200.  I jumped on other servers and was constantly getting a
connection error.

Launching a bad command won't make a difference at all.  Seems like the
server gets in this flux where it's constantly trying to run startup
processes.

My servers have encountered problems (win 2k3) three separate times now.

L4D servers appear to utilize nearly 90-100% system resources in spikes.  A
look at the logs and I see this occurring over and over again:

Host_NewGame on map l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment

Sending heartbeat to master server...
Connection to Steam servers successful.
  VAC secure mode is activated.

It hangs for about 5 seconds and repeats that text each time.  This is after
the server has been running just fine for about an hour.

Please fix your update, Valve.  Prior to the update, I hadn't restarted the
servers in 4 days... now 3 times in two hours???
