The machine hanged again this night and I took two pictures:

http://www.mypicx.com/uploadimg/1543678904_03302009_1.jpg

But this time there was no tcp related warning in the logs.

I then pulled the lateset git changes, rebuild, rebooted and setup the
workload again. The machine was still up and running in the morning 
(~4 hours uptime). So it may well be that the issue was fixed with
the latest changes. If it ever occurs again I will notify you.

Thanks for your assistance so far,
