Someone Just Crashed My Server

eliotmat

<div class="IPBDescription">This is what's in my log. Plz help.</div> Here's what the client said right before he crashed my server:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Zyklon-B<1482><2904286><marine1team>" say_team "dont do that agin, your server i now owned"<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Here's the last line in the log before the server died:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->FATAL ERROR (shutting down): SZ_GetSpace: overflow without FSB_ALLOWOVERFLOW set on Server Spectator Buffer<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

What can I do to prevent this in the future?

Also, beware of this player on your server.

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Changes for the Win32 Server in version 4.1.0.5:

- Added a new TFC server cvar, tfc_spectchat, that will allow the server to regulate whether or not spectators can chat with players in the game. When set to 0, spectators can only chat with other spectators. When set to anything but 0, spectators can chat with everyone in the game.
- Merged a bit of missing code between versions 1.1.0.1 and 1.1.0.4
<b>- Fixed "ERROR: SZ_GetSpace: overflow without FSB_ALLOWOVERFLOW set" crashing servers</b>
- Fixed "ERROR: Dormant entity player is thinking!!" crashing servers<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Yea, but usually the changelogs are pretty much the same.. thats just a standard hlds update, if your running a steam server, you should be running the update..

All I did was paste 'SZ_GetSpace: overflow without FSB_ALLOWOVERFLOW' into google, and it came up with a bunch of stuff
