A slight update on this: previously, my insert code involved a long
"SELECT ... UNION ALL ... SELECT ... UNION ALL ..." command. If this
command was too long, I would get a stack depth exception thrown back to my
client application. I reduced the length of the command to eliminate the
client-side exceptions, but on some occasions I would still get the
0xC0000409 crash on the server side. I have eliminated the long "SELECT ...
UNION ALL ... " command, and I now get no errors on either side. So it
seems like long commands like this were actually causing the server-side
crashes. The proper behavior would seem to be throwing the exception back
to the client application instead of crashing the server.

Hope this helps...
