I, for one, am entering the associated steam id into our global ban listing for our 30 or so servers.
The wiki information in the wrong hands easily leads to a$$tards finding ways to crash servers by simply sending out-of-bounds values. (I won't mention anything about unhandled exceptions here... that is to say, exceptions handled by shutting down the server...me grins at VALVe engineers so's they knowz i am kidding around...)
Ask me. I know. My 17 year-old son no longer has a computer after I received verifiable evidence he was crashing MY servers with these wanna-bee leet crash strings!
Don't worry, he would have lost his fatal1ty pimp rig for crashing any server. but he has lost all internet access and i shut his clan website and email service down, etc.
in general, he bit the feeding hand and won't have diddly till he moves out on his own. Maybe i'll pay for his college...
he is pretty smart but he has to learn this lesson about etiquite and loyalty and learn it the hard way. ----------------
Dang, thanks for being there and being so quick with your responses Alfred!

It means that the server dll tried to set a negative size for the bounding hull of a model (the minimum co-ordinates of the model were larger than the maximum co-ordinates in some or all dimensions). My guess (and it's a guess without a way to reproduce the problem) is that memory corruption is causing invalid data to be passed to this function.
