[icecast] bitstream problem: resyncing...

This one really has me stumped.
I'm running 866MHz, 256MB RAM, 80GB Disk (7200RPM) on Linux-mandrake 8.2
icecast 1.3.12  & ices 0.2.3 & lame 3.91
all mp3s encoded with lame 3.91 or higher and --r3mix (VBR)

Sorry for the long email but I'm hoping to get someone out there that's seen
this before and give me some advice...
I'm continually getting errors like this when running my icecast server
w/ices:

Here's the console output from ices:

Sniff...sniff...then it dies!!!  Icecast keeps cranking away, no problem.

Here's my config file for icecast:
