Sorry, I thought I was offering a quick and easy option.  Since, this is a 
minor release upgrade, there shouldn't (won't say there won't) be any changes 
to cause you problems.  But, I understand you have to follow your procedures 
before upgrading.  Software is not perfect.

Since this is not happening all the time, it may take a while for you to try 
and figure out what is wrong; that is if you can reproduce it.  Therefore, in 
my opinion, I think you would be better off using your time to consider 
upgrading especially with a lot of bugs and security updates being in the 
latest version.  Use that time to run through your regression testing.

Anyways, if you want to go the path to try and figure out what caused this, I 
beleive you will need to look at the following information:

Hope that helps,
