Still having this problem, and it seems that several other people are as
well. When a fork crashes, its process becomes defunct and the only way
I've found to fix this problem is to restart srcds. There's no debug
log or core file generated when the crash happens as far as I can tell.
I currently have one dead fork and one defunct process:
$ ps -ef | grep defunct
srcds 25157 6559 1 Aug17 pts/1 00:15:33 [srcds_i486] <defunct>
Could we at least get an acknowledgment or status update on this from
Valve? Pretty please?
Thanks,
Dave
