Are you able to share that file?

This leads me to believe that it's some setting in your vimrc that's
causing the crash.  If that's true, then "vim -u ~/.vimrc -N" should
exhibit the crash as well.

You can use the "finish" command to bisect your vimrc to determine what
exactly is causing the problem.  That is, put "finish" about half-way
through your vimrc.  If you're not able to reproduce, the problem is in
the second half of your vimrc.  Move "finish" to half way through the
second half of your vimrc.  Repeat.

At least using the tex files I have access to, I'm unable to reproduce a
crash.
