Some more info: We use this complex application as an advertisement system. The machine runs continuously, however there is a reboot every day early in the morning. First I didn't want to do any rebooting because I trusted the system it does not need rebooting. First we thought that any of the application parts may be a memory hog but now it is likely that some internet misconfiguration can be the issue. Another thing, that as far as I can remember, when the crash occured, a "kdontchangethehostname" process also run continously. Now I don't see any copy of such a process (now I rebooted the machine of course).
