First, I'd upgrade to the latest available code to make sure that the
problem doesn't resolve itself with the upgrade.  Second, know that you're
not the only one that is having similar problems and there is no obvious
fix for it on this list.  Third, most people having this problem seem to
have been able to correlate it to the cache-cleaning interval.
