ASA 5505 crashes due to DHCP Client

We recently upgraded our 5505s to 8.2(5) 26 and noticed that each will crash after a cerntain amount of time.  Some crash every 30 minutes other will crash every 4 to 8 hrs.  The only difference would be the user's home ISP and/or home router, if they have one.  They are configured with a dynamic dhcp IP address for the outside interface and the crash files starts with the following:

Thread Name: DHCP Client

When we downgrade back to 8.2(5) 13 the problem goes away.  Is anyone aware of known bugs for this version?  I haven't been able to find anything yet.  Also we do have one 5505 that does not have this issues.  The only thing that may be different is that it was never at 8.2(5) 13.  We had downgrade it from a 8.3 version.

If 8.2(5) 13 works well for you why upgrade? It seems that you are running into a bug so I'd stay away from the code where you see this behavior.

Is there something about the 8.2(5)13 code that doesn't suit your needs and therefore need to upgrade?

Kind Regards,

Kevin

That would seem like the easy answer, but I'm being directed to upgrade do to security issues with 8.2(5) 13.  If I can clearly note a bug, I'll be better able to get a waiver for not upgradeing.

Thanks
