JIT I believe is a Java thing which Steam may use as part of it's codebase,
unless you know how to code in java, (or more specifically you know how to
Debug Code), then you can probably ignore this message.
What you have is a crash of some sort, seems like Steam is crashing, only
thing I could suggest is to go to
http://www.steampowered.com and download
the latest version of the Steam Client. Run the setup, it should replace
whatever you have installed now with whatever version is on their website.
Try Steam again, see if it works.
If that fails, you could try removing the Counter Strike files and download
them again. Right Click on the entry for Counter Strike and select Delete
Local Content...
I'd only do that as a last resort, may not be the files being updated, could
be something else.
best a luck,
