Afraid I don't. I've been using ordinary NTK thermistors.
At a guess, I'd say your issues are likely to be timing related.
Check the clock frequency the sample code was intended to run at (or
look at the DS interactions on a scope).
Running the dev board in debug mode can also affect timing I think...

It might also be worth looking at decoupling of the power supply, and
trying the one-wire long-transmission line mods (100k on each leg
seems to ring a bell?)
