As Richard said, you might not want to make the jump to 8.5 on that  
platform.

Unless you've got an enhanced FEB ("show chassis feb" says you have  
128MB of SDRAM), you probably won't have enough FEB memory to do much  
of anything. The symptoms for running out are varied, exciting and  
confusing. I was unable to get 8.4 or 8.2 stable with a full v4+v6  
table and RPF enabled, and nothing more on our non-enhanced M10.

Downgrading to 7.6 worked for me, which is probably your best bet on  
the M5/10/20/40 unless you're willing to upgrade the RE's flash and  
the FEB/SSB SDRAM in a warranty-voiding kinda way.
