[41080.700654] srcds_i486[6347]: segfault at 0 ip b4f172b9 sp bfee3290 error 4 in server_i486.so[b4afd000+eb3000] [98319.377413] srcds_i486[9007]: segfault at 0 ip b7e71643 sp bfcf77c4 error 4 in libc-2.7.so[b7e3d000+155000] [174839.987867] srcds_i486[11880]: segfault at 0 ip b4f172b9 sp bfee3310 error 4 in server_i486.so[b4afd000+eb3000] [287447.935181] srcds_i486[15793]: segfault at 0 ip b4f172b9 sp bfee3310 error 4 in server_i486.so[b4afd000+eb3000] It goes on....
