You need both a debugging tool like Visual Studio.

But you also need that build's program database file (.pdb).  This info is
left out of the distributed build ( well for windows anyway ).  So without
these pdb files you will just get a bunch of assembly language in the
debugging tool.

Best thing to do as a server operator is when you see a crash like this,
disable all addons and see if you can reproduce the problem.  If you can,
then get the mdmp files to VALVe.  If you can't, then start adding the
addons back one by one until it happens.  Then get with that addon publisher
to see if they can get it fixed.  With SourceMod, those guys are usually on
top of things and get the fixes out quickly.

Subject: Re: [hlds] RCon Bad Password Exploit/Crash

I was just wondering what is needed to look at mini dumps or is this 
something that we can't do? Some times i get crashes, but I don't like 
to say there is a issue with anything until i know if it is something i 
added or the game itself. although i'm sure that 9/10 times its 
something i did heh
