segfault when TF2 server trys to load ANY map

[berler]

I've been running a TF2 server for a very long time without any problems. Recently immediately when the server starts it segfaults, and auto-restarts after 10 seconds; then segfaults again, repeatedly. We're running Ubuntu Feisty 7.04.

Code:

Enabling debug mode
Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.

Console initialized.
Game.dll loaded for "Team Fortress"
Particles: Missing 'particles/error.pcf'
maxplayers set to 32
maxplayers set to 32

here is a snippet from the debug.log in the orangebox directory:

Code:

----------------------------------------------
CRASH: Sat Aug  2 17:57:58 PDT 2008

note that if I start the server without the +map parameter it runs fine, but then when I try to make it load a map, instant segfault.

I had the same issue. It seemed to be an issue with Metamod and Mani Admin. I haven't looked into the issue too much, but I was able to start the server with no issues as soon as i moved my addon's folder to a different name (just so the addons would not be loaded).

Code:

# mv addons/ addons-backup

So, looks like it was metamod that was causing me issues. I updated metamod and it seems to be working fine now. Hope this works for you berler.
