Crashing is a technique used to produce a good starting basis for the simplex method. The term "crashing" is widely used, not only in glpk; see for example: http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~mastjjb/jeb/or/lpadv.html . However, I agree with you that this message may confuse some users (though when a computer program is really crashing, it never says about that :). I will replace this message by a more friendly one like "Constructing initial basis..." . Thanks.
