Comment:

 stratboy,  thank you for the information.  By creating a custom post type,
 custom taxonomy and a taxonomy template I was able to duplicate the issue.

 It appears that the $wp_query->query_vars['nopaging'] variable is the
 cause.  If this variable is empty, the SQL LIMIT gets set to whatever the
 value of posts_per_page is.  If it is -1, the LIMIT gets set to -1 and
 results in a SQL error.
