Server Crash- Ground Snow Suspended in Air Kills Server

Hi guys, my server keeps crashing, and one of my moderators figured out the problem, described below:

"With the implementation of weather, snow is occuring in some regions that didn't have snow on the ground before, so it leaves snow behind. New snowy areas are nice, but it leaves it in patches. So, Moderator1 goes and wants to fix this eyesore. Pre-1.5, //replace air snow would only cover the ground with snow, since it cannot leave it floating in the air. Sadly, post-1.5 left a large block. Warps to [That Warp] will slow the server down and crash upon loading the adjacent snow-filled chunks."

So, obviously using //replace air snow (worldedit) was a bad idea, and we won't do it again, but having areas where upon chunk load crashes the server isn't a good idea. What can I do to stop this?

Server running CB714 (EDIT: Updated to 733, still having this problem), Ubuntu server linux 10.04 x64.

Here's the console output when those chunks are loaded, this type of spam goes on for miles, it seems, and ends with a repetition of "Read timed out" lines, which is presumably when the server actually crashes.

Code:

Try to update your server to the new recommended build 733

 

This may not fix the issue for @jpDIV but is a good place to start.

 

@TnT yeah it is

 

Nope, tried that, still persists.
