I have seen this type of crash before when DDay was about - I was on the SHAEF 
dev Team.  This is a map problem somewhere.

In the code is an ASSERT, and there is something in certain maps that cause 
this crash - never did get to the bottom of it.  As I was 'server' guru in 
the dev team, I removed the assert  It stopped the crashes on that particular 
map...

Code (original quake2, but seems to be in all mods as it is inherited):


ctf/q_shared.c - around line 413
game/q_shared.c - around line 411  etc. etc.


 sides = 0;
        if (dist1 >= p->dist)
                sides = 1;
        if (dist2 < p->dist)
                sides |= 2;

        assert( sides != 0 );  // Here it goes wonky....

        return sides;
