Solution 1:

This crash was caused by a feature called the server watchdog, which was added in 1.8. Its job is to shut the server down if a single server tick takes more than a configurable number of milliseconds (by default 60000, or 60 seconds).

You can work around this by setting max-tick-time in server.properties to a higher number, or to -1, to disable it entirely. See MC-63590 for more details.
