Ouch, that are some serious errors. Could you do:

ls -lR /proc/`cat /var/run/tinc.pirnet.pid`

when this happens again and tell me what you see? If you see really lots of
sockets in that directory listing then perhaps we've got a filedescriptor
leak. If not, my next best guess would be that your kernel runs out of
memory...

Could you tell me which version of tinc and the kernel you are using, and on
what hardware you're running this?
