I've seen excessive memory usage in some clients due to odd variants - the Linux OOM killer usually kicks in at some point. Check 'dmesg' to make sure it wasn't this.
Also - are you catching core dumps on your box incidentally? And as Tore mentions - anything in the logs? Of course the obvious thing to note is that 0.25.4 is the latest revision - with 0.25.5 coming (or out - haven't been paying attention). That would make 0.25.1 older and potentially more prone to bugs that have since been fixed. You would probably want to upgrade one of your boxes and prove that it still occurs. What kind of network outage are we talking here?
