I've never seen this behavior in years of using perforce. Can you check with your server admin and make sure there are no custom modifications?

Also, 1.5.1 is extremely old (more than two years).

Hi, There are no customization in review board. 

I debugged and the review board API to check for the existing post is failing some times. ( even though message says >>> Review request already exists. Updating it...). Also observed that sometimes the performance of review board slows down considerably and need a restart to fix the problem.
