FATAL ERROR (shutting down): SZ_GetSpace: Tried to write to an uninitialized sizebuf_t: ??? #1863

Do you hate when you get this fatal error and you are using Linux GDB with -debug loaded for your HLDS servers for stability testing and your BackTrace doesn't give you any stacks or clues on what triggered the crash? But what does this "FATAL ERROR" message mean anyway?

Before you ask I did used -zone 8192 during that GDB process. I did look online for some more clues, but I don't use so many Hi-Trafficking plugins except for HLStatsX, even for my DMC that requires only a few plugins like MapVote and Spawn/Chat Protection. Could this error mean that my cfg are oversized or what?

This error means a network buffer wasn't initialized prior to being written to. Unfortunately without knowing where the error occurred not much can be done about it, and even if we knew where it is getting it fixed wouldn't be easy.
