Occasionally unstable server

Hey all,
before our match today started and in a test game some days ago the server crashed twice. It was on the maps upward and viaduct. Players were still connecting.
The server log isn’t helping much, as it just stops in the middle of a line (and even word!) at some point:
L 11/23/2011 – 18:50:28: “[AUT] Lord of the Skyrim” changed role to “engineer”
L 11/23/2011 – 18:50:28: “Big Ass Kicker” chang
L 11/23/2011 – 18:48:55: “Big Ass Kicker” triggered “builtobject” (object “OBJ_DISPENSER”) (position “-708 965 384”)
L 11/23/2011 – 18:48:59: “Drogenhai” triggered “killedobject” (object “OBJ_DISPENSE
We were theorizing that some Strange Weapons or other items of a player connecting at that moment may be responsible for this, but I don’t know an easy way how to replicate this.
Remarkably, in the test game the server we switched to crashed as well. After the crashes, the servers were running fine again for no apparent reason.
Aside from these occurences the server(s) are quite stable and didn’t show any problems in many TF2Lobby games and some other games.
I am using the etf2l config pack, the server has Metamod and Sourcemod installed, Source TV is enabled. The other server only has the etf2l config pack.
Does anyone have an idea of the cause?
Not a clue but I have experienced the same issue with our servers and they don’t have sourcemod nor metamod. Just the etf2l config & whitelist and that’s it.
multiplay?
I am experiencing this problem quite often, and it was me once who crashed the server in the above mentioned case ^^. When I join a server and choose demo as my class with my strange weapons equipped it crashes the server. When I join without my strange weapons equipped it sometimes works, sometimes it doesnt. When I join and choose scout, then instantly choose demo it works with whatever weapons. When I join a second (or third time) with strange weapons it works (after I crashed it once or twice) As soon as it happens I get >500 red lines in my console saying that I am missing particles.
I am not a 100% sure, but I think I even crashed an official from CKRAS once, by joining the stv. Luckily the game was in the warmup stage at that point. :P
Maybe something with the whitelist? It never happened on the vier // red server (no whitelist) but it happened pretty much all the time on our old dotpiXels server (with whitelist).
our multiplay server crashed with stv enabled, we disabled it and now everything is fine except we dont have stv demos )
