I've read this thread I think a run_in_debugger-script of some sort
will save you a lot of time. I used to use something like this when
debugging Science & Industry, but I don't have a dedicated server
installed right now, so it's untested.

# the next SDK release to avoid having the "how do a debug" question
# pop up all the time.
# Ignore some signals that we don't want the debugger to stop on.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${hlds_l_path}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${hlds_l_path}

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
hlds_bin="${hlds_l_path}/srcds_i486"
echo >>.gdbinit "run $@"
echo "Executing in gdb: $hlds_bin $@"
gdb $hlds_bin
rm .gdbinit

Save it in the same directory as the hlds binary. Call it
"hlds_debug" or something, run chmod a+x on it and then just use it as
you would the normal server binary:
/usr/steam/hlds_l/hlds_debug -game espionage -norestart
The server will start automaticly and run until you send a break or it
fails to the debugger.
