BugCheck in SQL Server 2000 SP3a?

When running a particular really badly written query on SQL Server 2000 SP3a,
I'm seeing a dump file generated about every 4 minutes. The top of the dump
is:
* BEGIN STACK DUMP:
* 09/19/04 12:40:38 spid 0
*
* Exception Address = 00444449 (ExecutionContext::SmartYield + 00000007
Line
0+00000000)
* Exception Code = c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
* Access Violation occurred reading address 00000190
Anyone from Microsoft interested in the rest of the dump?
Regards,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
Whenever a T-SQL query causes a stack dump, it's indicative of a bug. You
can check the SQL Server 2000 hotfixes released by Microsoft since then to
see if your case is covered. If not, you can report this to MS by phoning in
an incident to Microsoft PSS.

Thanks for your posting!
From your descriptions, I understood that you wonder whether it will be a
free case if you raise this your dump files to us checking it is an known
issue for us. Correct me if I was wrong.
Based on my scope, if this is confirmed to be an known issue and no hotfix
or workaround is available, it will be definitely a free case. If there is
an hotfix or workaround found to resolved this, I am afraid it will not be
a refund. Moreover, just asking for hotfix from an KB will also be free
case.
FYI, if you want to know more detailed information about this, you can
contact Microsoft Product Support directly to discuss additional support
options you may have available, by contacting us at 1-(800)936-5800 or by
choosing one of the options listed at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...d=sz;en-us;top
Thank you for your patience and corperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!

Thanks for your reply! You understand my question well. I didn't see any
matching hotfix, but is it possible/advisable for me to post my dump file
here and have it checked?
Thank you,
Jonathan

|||Hi Jonathan,
I am sorry to say that checking dumps file is not supported in the
newsgroup and this kind of issues can be caused by various factors, it is
difficult to locate the root cause in a newsgroup thread. If you want to
find the root cause of that, you will have to turn to PSS for help.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

core dump. Let's see...

|||Hi Jonathan,
I would strongly recommend you open a new case with PSS asking for that
htofix. PSS will make sure that hotfix is suitable for your issue. You can
contact Microsoft Product Support directly to discuss additional support
options you may have available, by contacting us at 1-(800)936-5800 or by
choosing one of the options listed at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...=sz;en-us;top.
Anyway, asking a hotfix will be a free case. You are welcome to post the
result here let us know whether that hotfix resolved your issue. If not,
you could continue discussing it with PSS to find the root cause.
