Shoutcast DSP freezing up

I TOO have been having this problem...

I run my main broadcast machine from my studio at home, and I send a 128k stream to a server across country, and a 48k stream to a 2nd computer on my network here in the studio. All MP3s broadcast are clean, and valid MP3 files.

At total random intervals, the SHOUTcast DSP plug-in [which I always leave maximized on my monitor to watch connection status,] will just totally lock-up. WINAMP will still be merrily playing along the files that are in my playlist.. all of Winamp's controls are still active, but the DSP plug-in goes locked...no levels, no data streaming, and the shoutcast dsp won't let you click any of the tabs. This usually goes on for less than 90 seconds at a time, but that's JUST enough time for the shoutcast directory to drop both of my streams from it's list, and usually just enough time for my listeners to decide to find a more reliable stream.
It never stays locked up... usually within a minute, it unlocks, and reconnects to the shoutcast directory.

My system is clean.. no bugs, no viruses. PLenty of room on the hard drive. Plus, Winamp and Shoutcast are the only applications running on this machine at any given time.
Below is a sample of what my server log shows when this happens.
