[dusitnd]

I'm seeing Splunk Enterprise Version 8.0.2 Build a7f645ddaf91 running Windows Server 2019, build 17763.1217.
Individual search heads in a cluster crash with no log messages in Splunk or event logs aside from a .dmp file:

You should open a support case. They probably will tell you to install version 8.0.4, however.
