I have the same problem on #1337...Sometimes it'll go for a couple days with no issue, and sometimes it'll pop the Read Timed Out errors more than once a day. It's very odd... My server specs: Xeon 6-core cpu, 2 Gigs DDR3 ram, SSD, 1,000 Mb/s uplink. I've ruled out any hardware issues, so it's gotta be a plugin or bukkit. Also, my SQL database is on the same server, so performance is great. I was looking at LogBlock as the main reason, because the queue was getting clogged up. I disabled the bukkitscheduler and the queue's fine, now. I've noticed that it sometimes happens after some heavy WorldEdit usage. I'm just throwing this info out there, in the hopes that it can help someone.

Another bump of this post. So lemme get this straight. Since the middle of last may, when Cb was in the 700s, some people, but not many, will have critical and fatal server errors every once and a while. 7 pages of posts and over 1000 builds later, people (including me), are still having this issue, and nobody knows what in hell is causing it? (It is probably a multitude of triggers for the same errors, but I've yet to find a fix for any of them) Shame. It's happening to me and I've had to bring my public server down for days now while trying to figure this out.
Every single time that planB join my server it crashs.

I got the same thing. I thought I had just put too many plugins into my server and was overclocking the cpu (i don't completely understand what that is, but I think that is the correct term, or maybe just overloading.) If anyone does solve this, I hope you will post to help out all us poor souls.
Its caused by all protection programs. Not just BB, core protect, own blocks. Log Block is better about it but still.
