I saw this happen with a bug in rhel 6.1 when the nodes were too slow.
I'm wondering if a) you have network problems somewhere or b) you have
insufficient performance on your nodes.

Usually it recovers on it's own, but I have seen it run away to the
point where I had to stop the cluster. That was on modest hardware in a
test environment. On all production machines I've seen, it recovered on
it's own.
