Frazer,
As a baseline for you, I just moved both of my game servers over to a
datacenter to a Server2003 box and they have been totally crash free since
the update ... and as you might guess ...for the HL2DM server I don't use
any server addons at all.

Subject: [hlds] srcds Crashing Woes
Since the new update, I have been experiencing more than the usual number
of
srcds crashes. I suspect an addon - possibly mani or statsme minimum
(these
are the only two I run).
I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a recent increase in
server crashes?
Looking at my logs, this seems to happen on a map change. The game play
log
for the ending map closes correctly. The "loading map" log is created and
closed correctly. The game play log for the next level is opened - but
the
server crashes before things get started.
Also, I am interested in which version combinations of Mani and StatsMe
minimum that folks are using who have reasonably stable servers, since the
new upgrade.

I am not a server guy, my thing is writing code. While I am grateful for
the great addons and mods that are available, I am always puzzled that
their
developers don't wrap their code in decent exception handling and dump a
simple message to the application or system log when their dll's are about
to puke. It would be SO nice to look in the event log and see something
like: "LameMod v2.3 unhandled My_Oopsie exception". Then, instead of the
whole guessing and trial and error thing, we might be able to isolate the
source of problems a hell of a lot quicker. Hell, if the developer is
creative in their exception logging, it can even *gasp* help them find
bugs!"
Just sayin'...
