Catastrophic failure message

[andrey]

Have anybody ever seen the error message "Catastrophic failure"? It appears during client's interaction with our DLL, but not every time - very rarely. Nothing I found in MSDN couldn't help. What can cause this error: size of DLL(more than 1 Mb), SQL Server error(connection falure) or something else? Every hint is welcome.
Thank you.

If you are using a Microsoft Excel file as either the source or destination when you try to import or export data using the DTS Import Wizard, do not open the Excel file while the Import Wizard is being executed. If you do it might result in the following error message:

Catastrophic failure
If you are running the DTS Wizard from within the SQL Server Enterprise Manager (SEM), SEM will be locked. If you are not running it under SEM, the DTS Wizard might either lock up, or report an Access Violation and quit.
