Are you running reports in the Data Collection or R&A side?
What version of the software are you running (8.6, 9, 9.01, 10?)
DId you recently upgrade and if so did you also upgrade / patch the QE's ?
What type of report are you running
If its a Data Collection query , and is windows based, have you checked your Query Engines to see if they needto be adjusted for the report you are running
Its cool you posted it here...but if you have the time you may also want to shoot that over to the Symantec Support line to see if they can open a case for you. It may get solve quicker
I did a quick search of the
