I tried to look at Cisco's web site to see when this code was released 
to tell you how ancient it was, and they don't even have it available 
for download it's that out of date.  I'd suggest upgrading to a code 
version released sometime in the last 5 years and see if the problem 
goes away.  A quick search on Cisco's web site turned this up:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps341/prod_bulletin0900aecd80471897_ps6350_Products_Bulletin.html

I'd suggest looking at the features you're using and look at a recent 
12.2SRE or 15.2S/15.2M releases if you're going to continue having it in 
production for much longer.  The NPE-G2s are EOL and can't have new 
service added as of Sept 29, 2013.
