Is this YET ANOTHER exploit? :( I i don't know if this guy was
responsible for the crash, but the logs are suspicious. He was raging
my server (TK'ing and being a generally offensive little prick), and
then did a retry. Immediately the server crashed with this boggling
error message: player:
it to a random bug that needs
squishing.

Is this YET

is causing invalid data to be passed to this function.

I, for one, am entering the associated steam id into our global ban
listing for our 30 or so servers.
The wiki information in the wrong hands easily leads to a$$tards finding
ways to crash servers by simply sending out-of-bounds values.
(I won't mention anything about unhandled exceptions here...

so...leave it at the default 1 :P The only time that setting makes any
difference is if you have some guy from Australia on your US server.
If everybody's got low pings, it doesn't affect anything, and
obviously causes problems. sheesh.

That's the error i've been seeing when playing with sv_maxunlag 0.02

the lower you go, the more often this crash occurs, but easily 3-5

sv_maxunlag 0.1
Interesting.. Mine is at default. I

and am not worried about excessive unlag correction being disruptive to
the game. But perhaps this is key to debugging it.
my initial motivations for lowering sv_maxunlag to 0.02:
1. discurrage high pingers
