Help! 2.9.38 RB532A & 2xSR5 rebooting randomly

RB532A
2 X Sr5
PacWireless 48v POE
120' Shielded Ethernet
WLAN1 AP-Bridge Transmit power 23 dbm
WLAN2 AP-Bridge W/WDS Transmit power 17 dbm

Rebooting randomly. Appears to be related to Through-put on WDS the Interface, but I cannot reliably reproduce it.

It generates an autosupout file (can anyone read these?), and very occasionally (like 1 out of 10 times) I see a Kernel Failure message in the Log.

Looks like it could be a power problem but I have the same POE running 60 feet further on the same STP cable type to the same RB/SR5 setup, at another site without a problem...

Any Ideas ?

Power problem for sure i'd say , even though the other site has a longer run.
Good example : had a board running away for weeks no problems then it started rebooting. Sorted the power and it was happy again

It's some kind of power problem for sure ... Climbed the tower this morning and found this : http://forum.routerboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3649

Anyone have any idea as to the cause ?

Thanks.
