Well from what I can substract from using sv_master_legacy_mode 0 the server is definately crashing less. Could it be something about how a client queries a server for information? Because I have seen an awful lot of bad and old challenge from : *.*.*.* even from my own ip adress, running a fully updated steam client. Srcds console then reports "bad challenge" for everytime i press refresh.
I did see my server in the master list with sv_master_legacy_mode 0, but only this morning. I did not see the server yesterday night when I wrote the last mail. I am now running default (1) and there are clients playing after only a couple of minutes in comparison with yesterday when I had almost no players during the entire night. I can not keep the server running with sv_master_legacy_mode 0 because I need players to keep my sponsorship. But if you wish I could setup an minimal server running pure defaults except sv_master_legacy_mode 0 and a password And also if there is any possibility for us to find out why my servers are crashing would be nice. Is there anyway to force a frozen server to report what froze it? I am not currently getting any debug, core dump or even an error message when it freezes. This happends to both my servers one public and one warserver. I have tried running the warserver with pure defaults (and sv_password) and no plug-ins, but it still crashes. It might be a good idea to catch this error now so it does not bite you later.

I certainly wouldn't call that "new", but maybe in the Debian world it is... Perhaps it's a NPTL issue?
