Unexpected dump

Had some fun with SQL Server 2000 (SP4 + hotfixes) today. While tuning a certain stored procedure, I made a stupid variation with an obvious error (wrong default value for a procedure parameter). It returned no problem on creation, it just dumps the connection on executing (and thus compiling) the procedure in a very nasty way. Don’t try this on production systems ;-). Luckily, this problem gets intercepted in Sql Server 2005 at runtime.

USE TempDB
GO
CREATE PROC proc_error
@Date DATETIME = blabla --no good!
AS
SELECT @Date + 1
GO
EXEC proc_error
GO
DROP PROC proc_error
GO

Msg 0, Level 19, State 0, Procedure proc_error, Line 4
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 65 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
