Well, then that's not an AUCTeX issue at all so I'm closing the bug.
But anyway, I think the major differences between "normal" modes and
tex/latex modes is that with the latter, `ispell-parser' is set to 'tex
which causes spell-checking to ignore latex macros like \documentclass
or environment names.

For example, when you do

  M-: (let ((ispell-parser 'tex)) (ispell-buffer)) RET

in some text-mode buffer, do you also get the crash?  I guess so.  Then
it's probably an aspell on windows issue...

Bye,
Tassilo
