You can use core files with gcc to debug the crash using the executable from your system (ex: hlds_i686). For the most part, the hlds_run shell script will automatically obtain useful information from the core file upon dump if you include "-debug" on the commandline. The only situation where -debug will NOT work is on systems that dump to files name "core.<insert random number here>" for example "core.9866". To date the hlds_run script will only detect dumps to a file named "core" in the same directory as the executable. If you have a case where the -debug will not write proper info to the debug.log file, you can always run the commands manually. Just look over the hlds_run script to see how it handles this.
