This freeze has been happening as far as I can remember. It's always
right after the map changes.

Any response from Valve regarding the server-hang issue? I've got it
happening at least 1-2 times a day....usually during prime time. It's
a real traffic killer.

Yep...that sounds like the exact same behavior I'm seeing on
Windows 2008 R2 servers.

I've pulled my servers off auto restart and noticed most of them
when they crash, they simple freeze up right after mapchange while

This is on Linux servers however, but we both seem to suffer the
same bug.

Yeah...this is going to be a tough one to track down. I've been on
a server a couple of times that it's happened, and there was no
discernible cause, other than it seemed to happen most often right
after a map change while players were choosing their teams. But
again, there was no crash dump, and no error messages in the logs,
so it's all but impossible to put my finger on the cause. It's
happened on both 24 & 32 player servers, stock and custom maps,
with Sourcemod and without, etc. Server specs are:
2 x e5620 (dual quad core)
24 GB ram
2 x 500GB drives (both defragged daily)
5 TF2 instances per box (and nothing else at the moment - servers
stay at 35% CPU usage or less)
It's more an annoyance than anything else....the servers are all
very stable (actually, they've been more stable in the last couple
of months than ever before), and almost never crash, with
exception of this "hang" once or twice per day. Some server will
go for days without it occurring, then they'll have 1-2 hangs on
the same day.
Perhaps if there was some kind of verbose logging/debug file we
could put on the server(s) for a couple of weeks that would detail
exactly what was happening during each hang, we could be a bit
more helpful to Valve in finding the problem?

Ditto, same OS have been seeing this for about 2 months now.
Server instance just freezes and required manual restart. I
started eliminating plugins and double checking SM, using latest
stable, about to try latest snapshot though I tend to prefer to
not use snapshots. Did fresh server installs as well just to cut
any junk files that may have been left behind that are no longer
valid for the servers that could cause conflict. Nothing has been
revealed. Most times, again the instance just freezes.
Occasionally it will outright close and rarely do I get an error.
Rarely I am blessed with a dump. Seems to happen every 6 to 12 hrs
on servers that have decent traffic.
Looking at the dumps doesn't speak to me much. I have seen
server.dll error if I am not mistaking. Hardware has been
thoroughly tested and retested and all appears well on that end.
Dunno, but then I am not proficient with the dump files. My wife
gripes at me cause I can't find the mustard right there in the
fridge. Apparently you have to move stuff out of the way when
looking for it.
