    Cod2 server crashing

    Hello everyone, I have a problem with my server its randomly crashing how do I find out what is the cause?
    Its version 1.3 without libcod.

    This is from syslog:
    ubuntu kernel: [587574.708776] cod2_lnxded[6798]: segfault at 84 ip 00000000080ebf71 sp 00000000ffc72160 error 4 in cod2_lnxded[8048000+135000]
    ubuntu kernel: [588315.019652] cod2_lnxded[6876]: segfault at 84 ip 00000000080ebf71 sp 00000000ffea0ee0 error 4 in cod2_lnxded[8048000+135000]

    Also something off-topic, is it possible to disable masterserver listing? Hexing the cod2_lnxded or something?

    The segfault message points to this function:

    PHP Code:
    BOOL __cdecl BG_IsWeaponValid(int a1int a2)
    {
      
    bool v2// bl
      
    bool v3// cl
      
    int v4// eax
      
    BOOL result// eax

      
    v2 a2 >= && a2 <= bg_iNumWeapons;
      
    v3 0;
      if ( (*(
    _DWORD *)(a1 * (a2 >> 5) + 1348) >> (a2 0x1F)) & )
        
    v3 v2;
      
    v4 bg_weaponDefs[a2];
      if ( *(
    _DWORD *)(v4 132) || a2 == *(char *)(a1 1365) || a2 == *(char *)(a1 1366) || a2 == *(_DWORD *)(v4 876) )
        
    result v3;
      else
        
    result 0;
      return 
    result;

    The address 80ebf71 points to:
    PHP Code:
    if ( *(_DWORD *)(v4 132) || a2 == *(char *)(a1 1365) || a2 == *(char *)(a1 1366) || a2 == *(_DWORD *)(v4 876) ) 
    Are you running any mods? On what kind of specifications does your server run?

    It doesnt imply its less secure than newer versions, and that doesnt cause the cod2 segfault

    So libcod is the only solution? I wonder why is this happening just now, Ive been running the same binary for years without any problem, is the pam mode causing it?

    Also is there a libcod build with just patches/fixes, no new features as I dont need any?

    If you don't use any new methods/functions/callbacks provided by libcod, it is basically just patches/fixes/protections

    About pam mode, maybe some random users force the server/mod using non-available weapons, like the openScriptMenu hack to pick weapons from the enemy side? That could explain the randomness in crashing

    I made a stripped down version of libcod only for CoD2 1.3 with only patches/fixes/protections/removed server listing on master
    Seems to work okay, not sure if I can remove more unused functions/declarations to have less size be more compact..
