ESX 3.5 VC 2.5 Host Disconnected (happens repeatedly)

Greetings,

After upgrading to the aforementioned versions (newest of each) I am having an issue where each host in the farm seems to randomly lose connection to the VirtualCenter. This impacts all manageability of virtual machines, since they show as disconnected and can't be migrated or touched, but they're still up and running just fine. If I ssh into the affected box and do a mgmt-vmware restart (or stop and start) everything comes back up except for "VMware ESX Server Host Agent Watchdog" which shows "FAILED." On a status query I see that hostd is not running. Nothing I do seems to get anything back up again. The last time this happened I rebooted the server and everything came back up, but that's getting a little old.

Thoughts?
