Yeah I think a few people suffered from that, including me. I'm guessing the server was having trouble managing all the new objects we were creating from mining. I think it eventually catches up and fortunately it doesn't effect items you drop. So you can do the replenish tools cheat without a problem.
I think it's actually an inventory bug somewhere because I've noticed it happens on your 2nd respawn without fail thus far, but logging off then on again fixes it.
Obviously when you die you spew your inventory (and some gets destroyed) and you respawn with an empty one and logging off destroys everything you have that isn't part of the map, so I think it's less to do with catching up and more to do with actual inventory management.

I tried following the path today but I got bored, even with autorun enabled using a book to hold the button down. That must have taken a very long time to build.

Also, you did it wrong. All in game videos posted on YouTube must be set to thumpingly loud death metal. It's a tradition, or an old charter, or something.

FJ started it, me, s2b and pnut joined in, dread to think how long it took, but we were moving fast.

Potentially infinite. I'm backing up the world now. It started out at a few MB and now it's nearly 50MB. So there's potential for a lot more real estate. Although I suspect something else will break long before you run out of disk space.
Technically there is a limit, but you're likely to run out of hard drive space first. Notch said if you had the space the area covered before you hit the limit would be about four times the surface area of the earth.

AMD X2 4800+ (dual core 2.5GHz) and 2GB or RAM. I don't know about the rest. It's running Windows 7 and I don't suppose that's the most efficient for a server.
I noted that the processor activity and memory usage shot up when there was more than half a dozen people on the server.
