What I expected to happen was...:
The server, upon loading my SMP map, would update the map to the latest snapshot as always and say "done"
What actually happened was...:
A crash caused by an error stating:
state
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot set property ayl{name=facing, clazz=class dt, values=[north, south, west, east]} to down on block minecraft:chest, it is not an allowed value
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the 14w25a or 14w25b .jar files to launch m y server instead of any older jar or exe file.
Crash report is attached:

14w25b didn't fix the issue, but it seems that the crash list is much shorter, and it take a lot less time to actually "finish" the crash and readout the report.
