I used to get this quite regularly so I do this before attempting to
restart the server:
# ensure port is free
SERVER_PORT=$(grep hostport tf/cfg/autoexec_${SERVER}.cfg | cut -d' '
-f 2)
netstat -n -a -u | grep -q $SERVER_PORT
while [ $? -eq 0 ]; do
echo "Port $SERVER_PORT is bound, waiting ..."
sleep 3
netstat -n -a -u | grep -q $SERVER_PORT
done

I've seen this twice now.
The TF2 server crashes.
It auto-restarts.
When it comes back-up again, it doesn't use the port number that has been
specified (and before the crash it had been using).
My guess, is that when the binary crashes, the old port/socket doesn't get
released immediately.
So, when the binary get's started back up, it's not immediately available - so
it picks another port.
Needless to say, this is a big deal for servers where many players use their
"favorites" list to find.
This didn't start with the latest round of TF2 updates.
The first time I saw it was back on January 25t - never before.
Since then, It's only happened maybe twice - including just now.
Platform: Linux
Operating System: CentOS 5.9
