I have been running hlds and cs since 1.0 on FreeBSD and never had any real problems until the latest updates. The linux ABI is not immature, but its quite outdated. It still represent a 2.4.2 linux kernel. I would like the emulationteam to update it to 2.6.x. One of the problems is that it seems it doesnt crash, it just exists... If it where a crash I should get a coredump. And according to strace is sends a kill() to one of the processes (probably main) and closes down. I will stack up on all the coredumps that actually do get written to disk and send them to alfred. I will also send him all the output on console whenever the crash occur. I hope a lot of other issues are fixed within 6.0, so the server and therefore get the linux ABI to be running smoother... /Bjorn -- ...this page intentionally not left blank.... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
