	Since the Fastpath-2 + KIP is an extremely common combination, I'd
suspect hardware.  We have 4 Fastpath-2's.  Some have been running KIP 1/88
continuously for almost a year.
	When I originally installed our Phonenet, I erroneously put
terminating resistors in all the boxes on the bus.  (They only belong at the
ends.)  The effect was that some macs zone lists mysteriously appeared and
disappeared.  Incidentally, the marginal macs seemed to vary more by
individual sensitivity to the problem, and less by position on the net.  Maybe
this is happening to you.  Terminating our net properly fixed this problem.
	This is just a guess, but if your problem fixes itself when you turn
the kbox off, maybe you have a heat problem.  (As a non-truster of radiant
cooling, I run my Fastpath-1's with their skins off in a machine room.  I
think this might also discourage theft...)
