Hi, I am not sure about what is happening (I have never seen this error before). Yet from https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-1.2/CHANGES.txt it looks like some bugs were fixed in late revision of 1.2.x.
I would advice you upgrading to last 1.2.19 (It is an old and stable version, I see no reason not doing it). "The problem goes away if we reboot the node, and then reappears after seven days" --> Have you TTLs on any table ? (Set to 7 days ?) --> Do you see any GC warn / heap pressures ?
