It seems there are a lot of errors during loading similar to  -

19/11/2018 -- 02:23:07 - <Error> - [ERRCODE:
SC_ERR_RULE_KEYWORD_UNKNOWN(102)] - unknown rule keyword
'http_raw_cookie'.

It may be somehow be related to some rules maybe -  but you say in
af-packet you may have  a problem once every two moths or so.
Is it possible to narrow it down  a bit - for example - load ET only
rules and see if any difference?

Thank you
