You can use the "usual" approach of splitting your john.pot file in
halves and seeing which half still causes the crash, then split that one
and so on. You should be done in around 25 iterations. If you ever
determine that neither half causes the crash or both do, then it's not
just one "problematic entry". Either way, I'd be interested in your
results.

I suggested that you start a debugging build of John the Ripper under
the GNU debugger - gdb - which is a part of Cygwin (or you can do it on
non-Windows). Maybe this is too complicated for you.
