8.4.2 was released in 2009, so you're missing all the bugfixes till July
2014 which is when the 8.4 branch was dropped out of support -- which
means you're also missing bugfixes from that point onwards. I think you
need to jump to 8.4.22 (the last one in that release) because this might
be a fixed bug; and you should consider moving to one of the supported
branches very soon, at least 9.0 but that one's going to lose support
soon too so I may suggest something even newer.
