[bf1942] Server keeps crashing above 30 players

[kama]

I have a really annoying problem. It does not matter what player amount
there is on the server, it crashes. It used to freeze, but that was a
OS/kernel issue.

The system is running on Dual Xeon 2.4GHz w HT. OS is FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT.
And it is random. Have not found out if there are certain maps that
causing it, but according to our player base it seems not to matter what
map is played.

Is there anyone from DICE who wants the core files?

Also, where is the logfiles? not the actionlogs, but the logs from the
bfvded itself with all the error messages?
