strange fatal error

I am getting a NUM.FOR.EDICT: bad pointer fatal error. I have done a little investigating , not a coder or anything, and it appears that this error only happens on bomb based maps and it happens at the moment the bomb is being planted. I am running metamod 1.17, and the latest PODBot from the thread stickied in this forum on a win 32 listen server. I have admin mod, and amx installed but both commented out of my metamod.ini . Doing a web search yesterday it seemed like this was a problem with metamod as "the specialists" mod experienced this kind of fatal error with metamod 1.16 because of certain values missing from the metamod.dll. Any help on this issue would be appreciated, until then I guess I'll be playing alot of hostage maps.

There might be a problem with your CS installation then, because for me these bots work well in CS 1.5 and in CS 1.6, and they plant the bomb successfully each time.

Do other bots such as RealBot work ?
If they do then it's a bug in the POD-bot code, but if they don't, it's your CS install (or metamod) which is corrupted.

I'd like to follow up from my first post to say that reinstalling metamod was all that was needed to resolve this problem. Thank you for your input. Listen server works well in CS 1.6.
