I've seen similar with 15.0(2)SE on the 2960G but I suspected the SSH 
process according to "sh mem", possibly exacerbated by monitoring the 
SSH port for availability. When ours died only a power cycle brought the 
thing back, as opposed to IOS crashing/rebooting... Unpleasant.

I'm planning a downgrade to 12.2(55)SE9 on two units this weekend. I've 
had the code running on a test switch to my satisfaction, I'll attempt 
to remember to note any oddities here.

Cheers,

David.
