Some more info. If cstrike/sound/weapons is moved (ex. renamed) the
server loads fine.

I've done an RTFS and seen that linux_getdents and linux_getdents64
use different data structures. Linux_base-fc4 uses linux_getdents64
here and succeeds while linux_base-fc6 quite the opposite.

The directory cstrike/sound/weapons is the largest (165 files), other
directories are way smaller. Seems that linux_getdents() get something
like buffer overflow or else.

BTW, why does linux_base-fc6 uses linux_getdents everywhere while
linux_base-fc4 uses linux_getdents64?
