As I read it, the spec says 500 meters.  2.5 Km is for configurations
involving multiple bridges, and also a 1 Km length of fiber optic
cable.

If it really takes you 15 - 30 min to recover once you remove the
extra length, this suggests that the problem involves software tables.
This is about the amount of time it takes Unix systems to clear their
ARP tables.  I would look carefully at the two machines on the end of
the extra cable.  Is it possible that they are set up with wrong network
configuration information, such that somehow duplicate addresses or
forwarding loops are resulting?
