For those unaware this patch comes with a nice big fat exploit for server killing. Through console a user not spectator can enter 
a particular command that will essentially kill the server. It makes the server look for resources and when it can't find them it 
restarts. The clients are dumped and server restarts. This affects both new patches. If the console cvar is locked out and the 
command is bound they can still do it as well as still beat the PB bind search. This may be why you suddenly have the crashes. 
Also an FYI is someone makes a threat to you that they will kill the server. We have had it happen on a few of ours already.
