And it's important that the .bib file is on your local volume, so that should discard some possibilities. However strangely enough your crash report seemed to point to resolving your .bib file, so that's strange. Do all the crash report look the same (in particular the first 10 items in the trace)? ATM I still haven't got a clue why it crashes.
