I think that behavior (blocking of printing when partial input is entered) is
just part of the console input system. I can see if there's a way to disable it.
Assuming you don't want to input commands, I'd recommend running your server
with input redirected from /dev/null.

the srcds_run script doesn't seem to like -fork 1, but there's no reason it
shouldn't work if not for the script.
-fork 1 should be fine, and there are advantages to -fork 1 over not forking at
