This type of error results from
  -An open cable
  -A shorted cable
  -A device failure whereby some station is regularly transmitting
on top of others, causing excessive collisions.

The segmentation is triggered by 64 (I think) successive collisions, or
a similar number of carrierSense failures.

It sound like you have an intermittent connector in your LAN.
