Hi Mike,
Just tar-ed and recreated the same srcds setup on an FC2 P4 system -- it all runs just fine... So glibc 3.2.3 is not the problem (thank god, because rpm hell and kernel/userspace dependencies were driving me crazy on that one). That leaves two other possibilities -- it's the exact FC3 64bit build of glibc and/or linuxthreads, or some combo of that and the x86_64 arch. Or something else entirely...
Out of interest -- what are your specific concerns with FC3 -- if installed packages and services are pared right back? I chose it because it was one of the few server distros whose updates are mirrored locally very frequently, and since intl traffic at the colo the server's destined for is extremely expensive ($50NZD / GB excl GST).
Cheers Andrew

Hmmm.
I have 1 server with Fedora Core 3 (unfortunately... I dislike that OS very much). While I've never run source on it, I just now downloaded it. I simply did a ./srcds_run +map de_dust2. It loaded and is playing fine. I also have glibc 2.33 and the OS is entirely up to date.
Have you tried running it with -debug and then view the debug.log to further see what exactly the problem is? I doubt it is the free pointer error, as mine is running fine WITH that error.
