"factorio_headless_x64_0.14.8" throws this error, seemingly at random, from time to time-

Events that were directly prior to the below error

As you can see by the last line, this causes the server to halt.

Any idea why?

From what I can tell, your network isn't ready to handle a multiplayer connection.
You're getting buffer overflows, which means either one of two things.
1: You didn't allocate enough RAM to the server process, and it cannot handle everything.
2: You have a potato for you internet setup.

Try fixing both, and then see what happens.

The lack of Factoriotuberous TCP/UDP compatibility should be explicitly stated in the system requirements section.
