>I am creating a table with SELECT-SQL (nothing fancy). I verify that a table is created (I can browse it). Next I try to append this table to some other table using APPEND FROM. VFP crashes with Fatal error:Exception code =C0000FD and corrupts indexes for all open tables.

There are a number of known things that you can do to get VFP to crash like that, but I have never heard of this one. Maybe someone who has experienced this will jump in.
