Summary: netkvm.sys stops sending/receiving on Windows Server 2003 VM

Initial Comment:
This usually happens within an hour or two of starting the interface.  It can be cured temporarily by disabling/enabling the adapter within Windows.  I've run the Windows interface with log level set to 2 -- when traffic stops it still logs outgoing traffic as normal but ParaNdis_ProcessRxPath stops being logged.  I suspect this is to do with the traffic content or timing as I cannot reproduce this with iperf, but only with external traffic to a website hosted on the machine. 

What further steps can I take to debug this issue?

Message:
should have said that this was tested both with the binary driver from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/2/kvm-guest-drivers-windows-2.zip/download

and also a self-compiled driver from the kvm git tree
