Hi Jeremy,
I’m not able to reproduce the crash here. Have you tried deleting your cache? To do so go to> /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common – Delete all of the folders there.
Have you thought about updating your OS? Premiere is most cases is much more stable in 10.8.X.
If that does’t work please let us know and we can try to come up with other solutions.
Best,
