I was able to run the same query in the original session where the error happened, and run manually the query, and the error came up again, then I used the command SET to browse the tables from them and got an infinite loop ( may be was looping all the table?, it holds more than 60K records )

In the past working with Foxpro, we were able to fix some problems working with the configuration in Novell, did you try to do something like this?
