SYMPTOMS
When you connect to a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services server computer by setting the Cache Policy connection property to 7, and you try to run a complex Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query to fetch the data from the Analysis Services database, the Analysis Services service may stop unexpectedly. Additionally, you may notice a stack dump file that
is similar to the following:
