SYMPTOMS
Using the Transact-SQL KILL statement to terminate a SQL Server server process ID (SPID) that originated from a TCP/IP Net-Library client can result in a handled access violation (AV) within Open Data Services (ODS), which results in a shutdown of SQL Server.
When such an ODS AV occurs, you can see the following stack dump output in the error log:
server ***********************************************************

server * STACK DUMP:
