Assuming that the crash is a cross platform thing, it is most likely to happen when replacing found text with no text. I think there are other situations, too.

It is definitely a confirmed bug on the AppleScript side, and I suspect that it is in fact a cross-platform bug. The workaround is to use the Find only to make a list of all the found instances and then iterate through the list, replacing the text by setting the contents of the found strings. (That last phrase reflects the AppleScript terminology -- I hope it translates fairly obviously into VB.)
