I did some testing on this at the time - it seemed to be dependent on the file rather than the system. Or at least on some systems the crash only occurs on some files. Anand, I am not sure but maybe you could try saving the file as an ASCII file and the re-opening it. ASCII file format can reset some issues. Before you do this make sure the PCB and SCH have been fully synch'ed, in particular the designators should match, as when you next try to synch you will be prompted to re-match the Sch and PCB components and you will be offered a match based on designators. This is a long shot...
