Are you certain that they're fully up to date? I would recommend running hldsupdatetool with the -verify_all option to double-check all of the files.

If the server starts and runs normally, and just does this when it crashes, that would likely indicate an issue with the game or Valve's wrapper.

If you have -debug on the command line, you might try removing that.
