Ok, short answer I don't know; long answer:
Most connections are "long-lived" connections staying up for hours on
end. There are somewhere form 6 upto ~75 connections open at a time
about 6 at night > 50 during "office hours". Both failures today where
in office hours and It happend about every hour in office hours on the
smp system and only once in the off hours.
I got it BTW twice while loading the data in the database. Simple stuff
begin; -thousands of inserts; commit; and then the next table.
I did not once fail during the test fase of the system. (one or two
users at a time)
So my hunch is that it happens when there has been a lot of operations
in one connection and a lot of other connections at the same time.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
