There are a few problems that have been fixed (or worked
around) after the release of 7.0.  For example, look at
PR kern/113548 which has a work-around in 7.1.  Your
problem description sounds like it could be caused by
the same problem.

Therefore I recommend you update to 7.1 or 7-stable.

Best regards
