The file or files are relatively small (about 15 lines worth mostly, and not very long lines at that), it isn't reproducible and yes it does happen randomly. There isn't any memory issue, the scope when the file is read is local only to the particular request (I'm pretty sure - I'll check), It could be related to multiple page requests running simultaneously trying to parse that same file, we do have multiple servers in a cluster that point at a shared file store, so as well as multiple requests on the same server accessing that file, there are other requests on different servers also accessing that file, but there are no file access issues for anything else, just the XML parsing stuff.
