Hmmm, looks ok at first glance.  Some minor cleanup items...

-Pretty sure you should strike out the "ServerDescription" etc since  
that can easily be specified in one of the ini files (as can a lot of  
the other settings).

-Also note that you don't need to specify gametype unless you're  
playing a gametype that is not the same as the default for that map  
(ie. teamdeathmatch in DM-Arsenal).

-Other flags you might want to add to the call are "-nohomedir", "- 
unattended" and "-multihome=<your_ip>" at the end of the line, with  
space delimiters and no quotes...  Yes, try the last one, even if you  
only have one IP address...  Don't ask...  ;)

-Just to make sure it's stated, you do have a distinct gamespy acct  
for this server, right?

linuxy questions...

- any juicy details about your linux setup?  distro, etc?

- Are you running SElinux?  if so, that's bad.

- How about 64-bit kernel?  pretty sure that's also a potential  
trouble spot.  Probably solved by 32-bit binary compatibility  
libraries, though?

I found some decent info from this post on the Epic forums, in case  
you can glean more from it than from me:

Does this also fail on the machine in question?

Also, a log file from the crash would be good to have, not just the  
console output.
