Problem
Under rare circumstances a session can crash when accessing query cache. The cause of this is a bug in internal memory garbage collection that occurs most likely in context of query cache.

Result
Your statement is aborted and returns a internal server error exception.

Workaround
Disabling query cache reduces chances that the problem occurs.
