Upgrading from 4.8.5 to 4.8.6 won't help you with this problem,
but I suggest that you upgrade anyway.

I haven't seen this particular problem reported since 4.8.1, which
is why I thought you were running an old version.  I can't remember
what the problem was, as this was a year or so ago.  As another poster
suggested, you could try updating your Perl modules:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Interchange'

start reading articles from the top of the page.  I would normally
trim the amount I quote, but I've left it intact to show you the
difference.
