This usually means that WordPress is encountering an error in finding the correct theme when someone(s) attempts to access your site. In this case WordPress will revert to the Default theme rather than offering nothing at all to the visitor.

I've encountered this same type of problem in the past and it usually involved the "wp-mobile" plugin I use so folks who visit my site via a mobile device will have a mobile type theme for proper viewing. Occasionally, when I'm doing my semi-annual "housecleaning" of my install or testing a trunk revision I'll forget to move the "wp-mobile theme" out of the "wp-mobile" plugin directory and back into my "/themes/" directory so when anyone tries to access my site via a mobile device, the entire site will revert to the default theme because WordPress can't find the "wp-mobile" theme as directed by the plugin.

This sounds like something similar. Do the times vary between reverting back to the Default theme or are they mostly consistant? If they vary then try running without any plugins activate (with the exceptions of Aksimet if your running it) and see what happens. If the problem stops then reactivate one by one until you find the one that causes the problem. Obviously if the problem still occurs with all plugins deactivated, then it's a problem with your current install.

Hope this helps some.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, I've recently put
a copy of WP2.6 on one of my "lower traffic" blogs to test it out, all
is working fine, except I set my new theme, and then after about an
hour its resetting itself to the default.  When I go into the admin it
says my theme is active, but when viewing the site the default theme
appears, I have to reselect my theme again to get it working.

This ( http://previously-on-lost.com/ ) is the site in question, I've
just reset the theme again, about 5 minutes prior to writing this email.

Will probably have to revert back to 2.5.1 if there is no known fix
(or if its just me thats having this issue)

cheers
