I have 17 connected to one right now and haven't seen anything like you're seeing either. Do you have current maintenance on z/VM? What is the MAXCONN setting on the guest lan (Q LAN DETAILS)?
PS. What's BLAZE?

We are running 1 linux guest with WBIMB 5.0 (MQSI) , 1 guest with Blaze persistence mgr and Oracle data base, 1 guest running Blaze and MQ queue mgr., and 3 other Blaze guests. Anyway, when the 4th linux guest attempts to bring up Blaze the strangeness begins. We start losing connectivity randomly to the linux guests. The linux guests do not go down but something is very wrong. You can watch the connectivity failures move from guest to guest. They are back then they are gone. I am still waiting for the Blaze folks to tell me what messages the 4th guests received. The Blze startup seems to have failed. So far we took a VM restart dump and sent it off to IBM. But I figured I'd ask if anyone has seen a similar situation. We only have 1 more week with our loaner hardware for our linux POC. We are running z/VM 4.3 and SuSE SLES8 (31 bit).
