Stability of optical gap solitons is analyzed within a coupled-mode theory. Lower intensity solitons are shown to always possess a vibration mode responsible for their long-lived oscillations. As the intensity of the soliton is increased, the vibration mode falls into resonance with two branches of the long-wavelength radiation producing a cascade of oscillatory instabilities of higher intensity solitons.
