I do not think it makes sense to call this "the same crash error."
A segfault (SEGV) error just means that something went out of control.
This reminds me of the old comparison between Pascal and C error
messages:
Pascal error message: Danger! Car is driving off of bridge!
C error message: Passenger compartment is filling with water!
A segfault means that all the air is gone.

P.S. It might help to use
:!latex %:r
instead of :make, and it may help to re-compile vim with a lower level
of optimization than the default. I know there are problems with gcc
4.x on Mac OS X. I think that vim 7 will default to -O2 with gcc 4.x,
but vim 6.4 probably does not do so.
