I would look towards software rather than hardware seeing as the dump shows
a software forced crash.  And without a lot more information it is difficult
for us to guess as to what is causing it.  It could be related to any number
of things.  What does the Bug toolkit tell you?  Output Interpreter of the
crash dump?  Two of the three images you listed are no longer available
for download, the latest S-train in 12.2 is 12.2.25S5.  Have you looked at
the deferral notices for 12.2?

Do you include Cisco TAC in "Anyone" above?  That would be agood place to
start.
