By seeing the .dbc, I have to assume there may be some local tables aside from just views... One thing you may want to look at is rebuilding indexes. I know that corrupted indexes will cause an ICE. Sometimes, just reindexing doesn't solve the problem, you have to actually delete the .cdx and rebuild from scratch. You might also want to pack the database container and then validate it.
