Just giving guys an update on this issue. It turned out that the crashing was due to the fact that we were using special characters in our web auth message. This was somewhat documented (the doc said it only applied to WLAN profiles) and has been updated with some of the information we were able to find: CSCsl41757. We are still running 4.2 and so far stable. Knock on wood.

The bug is not documented in the release notes and it hasn't been published, but basically, if you are lucky enough to run across this bug (like us), your controllers will reboot constantly. In our WiSMs the software loaded fine and everything seemed Ok until all APs joined and we had to reboot the WiSMs due to a config change. After doing that, the WiSMs just kept rebooting. In addition, files in 4.2 are now stored in XML format, instead of binary. So if you don't have a WiSM backup and you go back to 4.1, you have to rebuild your WiSM from scratch. I noticed there is a new release code that was just released, 4.2.99.0 and the bug does appear in the release notes, but there is no workaround.
