I'll contact you off the list and we can report back here if we find
something that would be interesting for others to know...

Leon,

nope :) very slciked server.cfg NO autoexec.cfg command line
-developer 1 +condebug 1 +maxplayers 4 + map test

no entry in serverconfigfile at all.. I assume if none is
set the engine (?) will populate the var with server.cfg

[Leon Hartwig]

Yeah, I assumed that's where this was happening.  It's not even exec'ing
that file, just the simple act of adding "exec server.cfg" (or whatever)
to the command buffer is too much.  You don't have "servercfgfile" set
to some insanely long value, do you? :)  Other than that, there has to
be other stuff jamming the command buffer.  Either something being
exec'ed in your command line, or something in autoexec.cfg,
language.cfg, or joystick.cfg...Maybe this is related to the large ban
file problem some server ops have.  Are you exec'ing any large files in
your autoexec.cfg?

Looks like you are using sprintf() to create a string to "exec".  Are you
sure you are passing the correct number of paramters to sprintf()?  Your
format string looks like it takes a single string argument, is that what
you're passing in?

You might want to echo the "exec whatever" command to the console instead of
trying to execute it to see what you are sending to the engine.
