Try deleting the suspect contact again. Leave it out. See if you are 
still experiencing the crashes. If not, when you re-enter it the next 
time, use a different name and see if that helps. For instance, if his 
name is Bill, just use B for the first initial.

I had something similar back on my Treo 600, and that was the only way o 
fix it.
