An EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION during a DELETE...

Our customers server uses SQLServer 7sp4. I don't know too much about the
hardware other than that they have 2gb RAM. Running the DELETE command
below yields an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION and the spid is terminated.
(SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 9 generated fatal exception c0000005
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.)
DELETE RSCONFIG WHERE ConfigType IN (1, 2, 3) AND SUBSTRING(ConfigKey,1,3)
IN ('265', '266')
We had them run a DBBC CHECKDB on this database, and eveything is fine. The
"ConfigType" is a smallint and the "ConfigKey" is a varchar(32).
What might this be? We know we have valid SQL and that it has run on many
many of our customers servers.
Any words or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your
time.
Sincerely,

to call PSS (i.e. MS support).
