Graham, I haven't seen this exact error before, but do you perchance have a <cflock> around the QoQ code?
Query of queries are very expensive on the server and grow more so as the record set being manipulated increases. Many times, the same functions performed in QoQ can be performed by rewriting the SQL used in the original query to return a more efficient query from the start. If you must use QoQ with a large record set, you might try adding caching to the query to lower the overhead or scoping the manipulated record set as appropriate for later re-use. The lock may be increasing the problem as the thread count stacks up while waiting for the ability to lock. Once that happens, and CF reaches the maximum number of requests (as configured in the CF Admin) the initial request may not finish and the memory used to manipulate and handle the query record set may not be cleared for other requests. I had to do some SQL optimizing last year on a client site which was having similar issues.
