Query generates "SQLDumpexception…." error

USE pubs
go
SELECT *
FROM titles t
RIGHT OUTER JOIN publishers
ON publishers.pub_id=t.pub_id
AND t.ytd_sales = (
SELECT max(ytd_sales)
FROM titles
WHERE publishers.pub_id=titles.pub_id
)
go When I tried to execute this query, I get an error message as follows: "SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 81 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process." What is wrong with this query. Please let me know. Regards, Chetan J.

says that the sp3a patch solves the problem.
Are you sure it is SP3a you have there?

" EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION " – basically, a piece of sql server code is attempting to access a memory address that it doesn’t own / is owned by another process.
