Why don't you try doing a binary search on your problem plugin? First remove half of them and see if problem occurs, if not, then try half of the other half and see what happens. Continue this way and it's only take a couple tries to narrow it down.

I've been running my DoD server for a few years and like most servers, it has evolved over time. The server has a lot of metamod plugins like Amxmod and HLGuard. Amxmod is loaded with many plugins. So, it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Here is the deal. The server has been stable for months. There are a few crashes now and then, but not too often. Serverdoc takes care of the occasional crash. It has run for weeks at a time without a single problem. Recently, I added a couple new Amxmod plugins. Then the server started its weird lock-up with the cpu usage at 100%. Of course, I removed the latest plugins and restored the configuration to its previous stable condition. Still, the server locks up at 100% cpu usage about once a day! When this happens, the server stops responding. The logs just end in mid stream when I manually restart it. I know I should start removing metamod plugins one at a time to try to isolate the problem. The list of addons is too long to list here. Questions: Is there a debug configuration so the logs have more information? Anybody see this symptom before? Thanks in advance. I know what I must now do and I'm not looking forward to it. I just thought some of the brains here might have a suggestion or good intuition.
