Hi,

We have a customer that have started to complain that his cod2 server 
keeps crashing all of a sudden, the thing is it doesn't really crash but 
it stop responding so they can't reconnect to it. All I can see in the 
logs are:

After that the server is still up and running and I can issue commands 
in the console, but no one can connect to it. The only mod on it is 
PAM105, and there is only this server running on the box so there should 
be no performance problems.
