yes i happens when it runs for a while (could be due to the fragment packet 
problems that seems
to be a nasty problem that reoccurs from time to time.
But i just noticed in the specific VM that caused this i had TSO switched off 
(to see if it would effect the case below which it didn't)
so it could be due to that. I will see if i can figure that out and report back.

From what i can remember it's somehwere from early in the merge window, but i 
didn't get to report it due quite some other bugs
in different subsystems this mergewindow.
