SYMPTOMS
========

When you run eseutil /p against a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 database, you
may experience a Dr. Watson Access Violation.

A review of the User.dmp file or, if proper symbols are installed, a review of
the Drwatson.log file, reveals a call stack similar to the following:

#  ChildEBP RetAddr  Args to Child

CAUSE

This issue occurs when you have more than 200 indexes on a table in the database
that you are running eseutil /p against.
