S.,

  I've seen this situation.  This could be the
problem:  The local end goes up & down.  Distant end
stays down.  The problem is you're receiving
keepalives and the distant end is not.  These
keepalives you receive have a sequence number on them
that should increment ("your's seen").  Keepalives are
sent every 10 seconds by default.  Since the distant
end isn't receiving your keepalives, your's seen
doesn't increment.  After missing seeing three
keepalives that are not incrementing, IOS declares the
interface down.  As soon as the next keepalive is
recieved, the interface is placed up.  And so the
cycle continues.  Check the transmit pins/cable/to the
distant end.  Keep in mind it could be your local
transmit or the distant end receive.
