Hello!
I'm currently having the exact same problem.
When those errors started popping up I thought the problem was my operating system so I formatted my hard drive but i'm still getting segmentation fault error on every startup.

Did you solve this somehow?

[VampiricPadraig]

I was having this problem, here is a "simple" work-around until Valve decide to fix it.

Use "linux32" at the beginning of the line eg.
"linux32 ./hlds_run -console -game cstrike"

Now you CAN still get Seg faults with this.

Keep Ctrl+C the server and running the command again (pressing up and enter does the last command) and when you feel that the server has not seg faulted on you after 10 minutes of the server being on, then you are good to go.

I don't know if there is a easier way to fix this but at least this command should keep you going until hldsupdatetool is UPDATED VALVE!!!111one!!!!

[ozkr]

THANK YOU! It's actually not crashing (yet)
Valve really need to fix this crap, it's a shame.
At least they could put up a f-ing sticky with simple work-arounds like this.

Thank you very much

[carbonated]

This fix doesn't work. The server crashes randomly on mapchange with segmentation fault again. So any fix?

[THC Dark]

still waiting for a solution from steam support ........

Hey!

I'm new here and I have the following problem. It seems i'm not the only one.
I'm currently trying to run a counter-strike 1.6 server on the
following configuration:
cpu: Amd barton 2.6+ (32 bit, single core)
ram: 1gb (ddr 400)
os: Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit
I downloaded hldsupdatetool.bin from steam , and updated all files,
./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir .
When I tried to run my server I've got the following message:
**** **** **** **** **** ****

./hlds_run -game cstrike +port 27020 + ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +map
de_dust2 (at the place xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, is a correct ip address)

fps_max isn't a HLDS command, and why do you have it twice?

[THC Dark]

HELLO This its my start line i sure its not that the problem :

./hlds_run -console +ip $IP -port $PORT -game $GAMETYPE -autoupdate +map $STARTMAP +maxplayers $MAXPLAYERS +exec $SERVERCONFIG +fps_max $FPS +sys_ticrate $TIC $MAXPLAYERS -debug

and nobody know what this lines men ?
