I had the same problem with Windows XP and a RME Hammerfall DSP card using only the normal [notein], [ctlin], [toutchin] and [pgmin] for a sampling synth. I don't think it's the midi interface. RME has some of the best drivers - very stable.
Sometimes after a certain amount of time it started playing notes by itself and didn't seem to stop anymore. It sounded like notes or melodies that I had been playing before. Nothing random. Could it be possible that midi data is written into a buffer that does not get emptied anymore? Then something might trigger reading out that buffer? I couldn't recreate why it happened. Most of the time it didn't do it but every once in a while it did. I had no problem ever running Nuendo for days on that same machine programming midi. The same Pd patch was doing fine on a Linux computer after switching to Linux.
