It could very easily be a software/firmware problem I think, all it needs is some part of the housekeeping that can't quite keep up when the router is working flat out.
I've had similar problems with a couple of Netgear's in the past (only it was when I saturated a PPTP VPN running over them) In that case updating to the latest firmware image did the trick...I take it you are running the most current firmware version.
I also had (years ago it is in the list archives somewhere) a really strange problem where I could make my Alcatel Frog ADSL modem drop the line by listening to a shoutcast stream...anything else would be rock solid...but open up any stream and it would always drop within the hour. In the end the problem vanished when I added kernel modules to link up my Zaurus (should have been unrelated but they were to do with USB networking so who knows)....before that I had spent ages with MTU's etc to no avail.
