Here is a patched version of base AMXX plugin.
It contains fix for a bug that lead to "bad load" error for all plugins. And AMXX totally stop working (while you can play on server, AMXX commands don't work).
Here how "amxx plugins" output looks (all plugins have same status so I cut them of):

PHP Code:

Currently loaded plugins:
       name                    version     author            file            
status
 [  3] unknown                 unknown     unknown           admincmd.amxx   
bad load

(  3) Load fails: Plugin file open error (plugin "admincmd.amxx") 


This bug affects all AMXX installations. It exists in 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 versions (doesn't checked other versions).
While we are waiting for next AMXX release I decided to post patched version here.
So it can help you to get your server more stable.

Explain how this error happens, and what you did to fix it.

Also, it's nice to know that you are using Non-Steam supported server.
Did you make sure that this bug occurs on Steam servers?

How error happens is described here: https://bugs.alliedmods.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3957
Yes, I am sure. Not closed file handle affects any type of server.

Just amazing how it has lived so long.

PHP Code:

    if (!file_exists(filename))
        return 0; 


This is useless because fopen returns 0 if the file doesn't exist.
Only fclose is needed.

Verry strange, our community servers 3 working years, newer ever happen this bug.. o_O
And we have to Steam and Non-Steam servers...

Ic. I took this code from mapchooser.sma. So I think you can go and make a proposal on bug tracker. May be AMXX developers will consider this.

You can get this bag easily: set mp_timelimit to 1. File maps.ini is opened after each map change. You can use monitoring tools to see that handle count is increased each map change and look at file handles list.
And there is simple explanation why it isn't get spotted: server from valve is so buggy so it can't work so long for this error could happen.

My non steam server some time has been crased when change map!
I have to use nonsteam because all people use it!
Can your plugin fix bug when map is changed?

[Flasher]

Patch in this topic isn't related to total crash at map change. Only AMXX is stop working. So I think answer is: no, it can't. But anyway anyone should use this patch because it fixes a bug. If you server will no longer crash at map changes - post here about this.
