Maxusers 96 ought to be safe, but your problems looks like the mem/max problem, only at a very slow rate. The problem derives from the kernel taking up more memory than it has space to map. Since this is gradually used, it takes a while for the problem to show up. One week is a long while, so you might be a borderline case, because of your other options. I suggest lowering maxusers to 90, and see if that eliminates the problem, or make your machine survive a while longer. -- Daniel C.
