Random "Network is unreachable" on 6.2-RELEASE

I've recently upgraded my firewall from 5.4 to 6.2-RELEASE and am now
getting random "Network is unreachable" messages on connections to the
firewall from my internal network.  Some checking suggests it also
affects connections from and  through my firewall as well.

I have had about 6 attempts at copying a 600MB data file to the
firewall and they generally drop out after 100-200MB - though not at
the same place.  It looks very much like pattern sensitivity.

The firewall rules have not changed and look as below.  fxp0 is
internet and fxp1 is internal.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

fwall# ifconfig -a
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255
        ether 00:d0:b7:91:d7:e4
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
fxp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
