Additional Information

This is a case of using an unreasonable XY Tolerance considering the input data. Most tools have issues if users specify the .01 DD being used here. Other tools crash too. There are well established guidelines on how XYTolerance works in relation to the input data's Spatial Reference properties. Please see http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/geodatabases/feature-class-basics.htm Following these guidelines, the crash is avoided. If there is not a 100% valid reason to use an XYTolerance larger than the default XYTolerance for the input data's default Spatial Reference... don't. Using extremely large XYTolerances in relation to the set XYResolution can cause errors, tool failure, crashes, huge data movement and even cause features to become invalid causing incorrect analysis down the line in your workflow. We are looking into stopping the crash through an additional Issue. Plan is to detect the issue caused by using an unreasonable XYTol and shutdown cleanly with a reasonable failure message.
