Then I have no clue of what could be happening, I would need more
information, logs, etc. to be able to try to find what's happening.
Have you tried to use wireshark to see what's going bad at a TCP/IP
level? Usually these type of errors are because of connection errors
at that level. Maybe packets are being dropped?

Another idea: maybe you could run w3af with the output.textFile plugin
with the verbose parameter set to true, and analyze that?
