FATAL ERROR (shutting down): SZ_GetSpace:

FATAL ERROR (shutting down): SZ_GetSpace: Tried to write to an uninitialized sizebuf_t: ???

I haven't seen that error in a long time, I have bot protection on in Adminmod.
Also have strange crash every few hours that leaves no errors to ponder over, the last line in the logs is half written, server just quits. Any clues?

The fatal error refers to an oversized cfg file. Try
-zone 8192 in the target line.

Oversized cfg file? Are you sure DreamLord, I haven't added anything to the config, in fact I've removed a lot of stuff.

I don't have access to the target line anyway, it's a rental.

If you were to do a search on google, that's what you will get, it means an oversized cfg. Can't help anymore then that though.

Actually there are much more reasons than this one for a crash like this.

Does it crash in the middle of the game or when you start it ?

Is it when you add a bot ? Also are bots allowed to leave/join randomly ?

It can happen at any time Pierre but more often than not it's a map change so it could be when a bot is added, I leave them to add/remove themselves.

Server just changed to de_dust, 3 human players, 3 bots. Round started then 30 seconds later...

Try disabling statsme if you have it.

OK I'll let it run for a good few hours with it off.

yes, it's obvious but be sure to test if the crash happens when you run the bot DLL and only it (no other plugin).
