I am not sure why, but I am getting this spammed in my error log:

Has no one else been experiencing this issue? I don't know why, it's happened out of the blue and I've made no changes to Zombie Escape server. Any help I can get would be awesome

Proper memory management is difficult...

Possible cause: Someone used scream commands right before map change (possibly after winning or loosing). Those commands use timers as cooldown to avoid spamming and ZR is destroying them in the round end event. Apparently map change doesn't trigger a round end event.

Possible fix: snapshot patch r705 (source)

You might want to review the change log because there are other changes as well: http://code.google.com/p/zombiereloa...repo=zr-3-0-b2

These errors must be rare because few know about the scream commands and fewer spam them right before map change.
