Well that CPU_MHZ overrides cpuinfo I think so it shouldn't matter.

My exact commandline is:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. CPU_MHZ=3000 ./hlds_i686 -game cstrike +servercfgfile 
server20000.cfg +mapcyclefile maplist20000.cfg -port 20000 +maxplayers 
10 -secure

BTW I really sent my original message only so that developers know that 
there seems to be some correlation between the problem and cpu frequency 
hlds detects. I didn't know people will start to try to use it (it's 
very ugly "solution").

I have runned with this for awhile and it does actually help.

They still crash, but its gone down from 30-50 crashes per day and server
to 6-12 per day and server.

At first it did not help due to the variable being set.

Well I'll test it and see what is going on.

Thanks,
Herk.
