A not fully written file cannot be the problem. Loading it does not lead to a crash, and moreover we explicitly wait until the end marker of the file was written.
Perhaps you can send me a crash report off list, then I may be able to see why it crashes. Also you may want to read our Wiki page on pdf-tex syncing, watching the file has its vulnerabilities.
