It might not be crashing at all, sometimes it can take a few hours to complie, try leaving it alone for a loong time, if it still gets jammed then maybe there is something wrong but I would guess you need to wait a while longer.

Ive had mine stick in a certain spot for upto 4 hours before now, its very likely that all that is happening is that it has got to a certain area of your map with a hight light concentration and so is taking a long time to compile that particular area of the map.

If you put "-bounce 0" in the light options it may go faster. That makes the radiosity go faster because it does not have to redo the lightmap after the light bounces off everything.
