I don't know how do your log files look, but it might be good to look not only for explicit errors, but also for any incomplete or unexpected messages. See http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=200361 and http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=201070 If you choose to do something like this I can send you the current version of the "state machine" engline if you like.
