It appears that the vpk files are being closed and everything goes missing.
That's why sounds will be the first thing you notice missing but there will be
a lot of things missing as maps, textures and caption lines.

Poking snd_restart often keeps the sound vpk file open but doesn't warranty the
maps or textures vpk open which only leads to crash on map change.

It may have to do with Linux limits to open files, though I haven't tried.
