Client crashes while playing demos

[gdin]

I didn't see any threads on this, so I hope I'm not repeating something obvious. Anyway, I have a bunch of demos that I'd like to record but every time I go into the demo viewer and try to watch them, the game crashes within seconds. It sometimes crashes after the tee crosses the start, and almost always crashes when I try to skip to another place in the demo, or fast forward at high speeds. Am I the only one with this problem?

Send me one of these demos and tell me how to reproduce.

There still are some problems with the demo recorder/player we couldn't get rid of. A design flaw in my opinion is that when seeking to a specific point in the demo, the demoplayer starts playing all ticks internally until it hits the given point.
That means a single invalid chunk in the demo makes the rest of the demo unplayable.
Currently I only can recommend to record rather small gameplays, since I only had these problems when recording longer than an hour.

Would you mind sending me some of the corrupted demos? It would help a lot fixing these issues.
