STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. This problem was first corrected in SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 1.
MORE INFORMATION
The conditions required to encounter this situation occur rarely; it requires a significantly complex Hash Match Team query.
A key to this issue is that the exception is encountered during the compile phase. To determine whether you are encountering this issue, enable the 'set showplan_all on' option and execute the query. Because the error occurs during the compile phase, the exception is encountered before the showplan results are returned.
