Read my message again.

The default limit for core files is few MB (or something like this) and is
not enough for a Source dedicated server. You must increase the limit,
otherwise whenever your server crashes the core file created by operating
system is truncated (and invalid => so you get that "funny" error message).

It is something like this:

1. Server crashes.
2. The operating system creates a core file that has 1MB instead of 60MB.
3. The srcds_run script runs gdb (GNU Debugger) to get the error details
from core file.
4. The core file is invalid => you get that funny message.

To fix the funny message use the "ulimit -c <size>" in the script used for
starting the server.

Then start the server again and when it crashes see the debug.log file.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Core Size and other issue

@ ics: i think srcds_run is the right bin, but if I'm wrong please
suggest me a better way.

@ hlds: thanks for the hint, I made a lot of researches but I don't
have valid excause.

Funny is now that it expects a bigger core:
BFD: Warning: /home/my/path/css/core is truncated: expected core file
size >= 60669952, found: 1085440
