I assume, you mean 1.6.39?  Are you able to reproduce the problem with
1.6.40?

That's quite a lot.  How much RAM and swap does your system have?  How
much does the "john" process use just before it crashes?

Anyway, it is more likely that the problem is related to a specific
john.pot entry rather than to the file size.

Unfortunately, this is of little use to me.  The addresses given in this
dump are specific to your build of JtR - but you did not even mention
what version and build this error output corresponds to.  Also, I am not
using the Windows platform for any debugging (I imagine I'd have to for
a Windows-specific bug, though).  I'd be of more help if you reproduce
the problem on a debugging build of JtR (add "-g" to both CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS, remove "-s" from LDFLAGS) while running under gdb, then type
"bt", "i r", "disass $pc-20 $pc+20" in gdb (and post the output of these
commands in here).
