Rather than daemon processes dying, this sounds to me more like
processes getting starved for resources (cpu cycles, memory,
mbufs, something along those lines).
Can you do some low-tech monitoring and figure out what's getting
used up? Try connecting to the system while it's healthy, and
just keep top or netstat or swapinfo or ... running, so you see
what state the machine was in when you last had useful access to it.
