This happened to both my servers a couple days ago. It happened when the connection to our DB server was interrupted. I believe sourcemod queues DB queries even if the DB connection hangs. When the DB connection is reestablished, normally it sends all those queries. But this time it didn't. When the first server map changed, it hung. So I decided to try and reload some DB-heavy plugins on the second server. Upon reloading the first plugin, the server crashed.
The same exact thing happened later that day.
