Not sure What network card drivers is the server using? Not sure What firewall or other security software is running on the server?

N0 Do you still have these problems if you run your CraftBukkit server without plugins? Did not try, as the crashes happens at random. Do you still have these problems if you run a Minecraft server without CraftBukkit? Same as above.
BUUUMP!!! I got exactly the same error twice since switching to craftbukkit 1.7.1 (github de8569e563d26a6a736a)! Plugins used: iConomy, iConomyChestShop, Permissions, Stackable, DefaultCommands, Dynmap Therefore, these are the plugins we have in common: Dynmap, iConomy, iConomyChestShop, Permissions Haven't tried vanilla yet, because the crashes were randomly scattered over time. Map size and system specs about the same. Couldn't find the error... Is the BlockFurnace.java file in net.minecraft missing or something like that?
Same here.. running nix and noticed that java is now using 200% cpu usage on my quad core xeon.. It runs for less than a day before becoming totally unresponsive.
