Problem Note 67038: Defining a large hash table might fail with a read access violation or segmentation violation
 |  |  |  |  |
Declaring a large hash table of several gigabytes in size might fail with either a read access violation or a segmentation violation. The type of violation that appears depends on the operating environment.
This issue affects a SAS® 9.4M7 (TS1M7) installation.
There is currently no workaround except to reduce the size of the hash table or to not use a hash table for the task.
