What happens when you have zero bans loaded, and then do a writeid? Based on your problem, I would assume that an empty banned.cfg is created. My guess is that after a server crash, you are writing an empty banned.cfg, and then execing it. It may start to get populated until it crashes, in which case the vicious cycle will start over again.
Try exec banned.cfg before you writeid.

Anyone seen this before? I'll ban several people over a couple of days, and then go back a few days later and the banned.cfg will be either empty or have totally different entries in it? What is happening? I have the following in the server.cfg, which is set to exec on mapchanges; writeid exec banned.cfg exec listip.cfg But bans keep disappearing.. Why?
