Not sure if this is that I need to assign more memory, a java issue or a minecraft one. Also not sure if this has been picked up, I did a search but couldn't find anything recent.
The server became unresponsive and the CPU stayed up at 77% for about 10 mins till I finally gave up and restarted the machine.

Well the issue is indeed that the server ran out of memory and the simple solution is to assign more if you have it available. I recommend at least 2G depending on the number of players connected.
Attempt to use this and see how it works:
-Xms512M -Xmx2G -jar minecraft_server.18w11a.jar nogui

Thank you very much, I will try that now.
Was shocked that the server ran out of memory as I have heard that they can run on 256MB. There were only 3 players online at the time of the crash.
Edit: The machine is a;
HP DL360 Gen 6
48GB Ram
2x 2.67Ghz Xeon
8x 146GB SAS Raid

Really did not realize minecraft servers needed 2GB of RAM for 3 players. Thanks for the heads up.

Allocating more memory did not work. It appears to be a memory leak of some sort.
I fixed this by forcing a reload every 24hrs.
Edit: Added startup circumstances to the original post.
Edit: Added java version info to the original post.
