If this is a 7.2 installation, you can try the following -
onmode -I 208. This will produce an af.xxx file containing the stack whenthe error occurs.
Also, if you are able to reproduce the problem at will, a SQLIDEBUG
session might help to determine if the error is being generated on the
engine or client side.
Finally, if the front-line engineer is unable to provide the support that
you need, simply request to speak with their manager.
You could be running into a configuration issue, a physical memory
limitation issue, a bug, or somthing else.
