This sounds like problems with spanning tree in the network. Do you run
STP? Take a look at the topology changes reported by stp. Or one more
thing - this could happen because of over-fulling CAM (switching) tables
of particular switch. Check if you are not running out of memory
somewhere.

Cheers,
