If there were a real critical bug, there'd be a new release (which
would mean 8.2.5). So the short answer is, "No."

But sometimes there are patches that are critical for you_ but not
_for everyone. You can compare the difference
between the REL_[v_num]_STABLE and REL_[v_num]_[minor] of your
release to see if there's something. You can do that by looking at
the CVS interface at
<http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/>, among other ways.
