Stopping pgpool and starting it again fixes the problem for about 24 hours until it re-occurs.  For the last few hours, however, it has been happening every hour.

Sounds like a bug fixed in 3.3.4. When you type "ps xau|grep pgpool",
you should see some lines:

18122 pts/16   S      0:00 pgpool: wait for connection request                                      

which indicates that the pgpool child is ready for accepting
connection from client. The bug mentioned above is, when pgpool child
ends its work, it does't return to the waiting state. Thus no client
is accepted connection to pgpool, and your apps start timing out.

Please upgrade to 3.3.4.

Best regards,
