glibc crash

[kaltag]

Good evening fellas. I just got around to setting up my CS:S server last night but I'm having a bit of a problem it seems. I can start the server just fine if I specify all the options on the command line i.e srcds_run +maxpleys 16 +map de_dust etc. but as soon as I put anything in my server.cfg or autoexec.cfg file and I mean ANYTHING I get a crash related to glibc.

Code:

server cs # ./srcds_run -game cstrike -debug +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust

gcc version - gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
glibc version - Latest version installed: 2.3.6-r3
kernel version - 2.6.14-gentoo-r2

have tried several different versions of gcc and glibc with no success and reinstalled steam and CS:S 3 times now. system is running gentoo. Thank you for any help you can provide.
