Comment:

 I suspect that your master is very busy, and is not able to reply to the
 slave's keepalives for > 600 seconds.

 We've seen other similar problems, and it turns out that bailing out if
 you don't hear back from a keepalive is actually a bad idea, so this has
 been removed in newer versions.  That said, if this only occurred with
 additional slaves, you could probably fix it by:
  * increasing the timeouts on the slave side
  * not using the waterfall, which is ridiculously CPU and IO intensive
  * looking at master performance in general
