I have searched around for a solution to this problem, but have yet to find a solution that applies to me.

I have built 2 servers one is linux and one under XP, both have the same problem. Server crashes with the message:

SZ_GetSpace "Tried to write to an uninitialized sizebuf_t: ???

This happens approximately every 2 hours, on my linux server.

I run Adminmod(with bot protection on), Stripper2, HPB_bot 4.

min bots 0
max bots 6

I have been using a redirect for my custom map on the server so people can download them in seconds rather than minutes, anytime a player who doesn't have the map connects 2 bots are kicked because steam disconnects the player while they download from another source.

About a week ago I commented out the line for the redirect in my server.cfg just to see if it made a difference, and so far it hasn't crashed.

My basic conclusion is by using min & max bots + a redirect cause the server to peroidically crash. I am guessing the crash has something to do with the timing of clients reconnecting and hpb kicking & creating bots, since many people are joining and disconnecting from the server without insident prior to a crash.

I'm hoping someone with more knowledge than me, can figure out a fix for this problem. ie config changes or edited drivers.

Thanks in advance.
