No elisp bug (in BBDB) should cause an Emacs crash.  This is a bug in
Emacs, triggered by some elisp in BBDB and some data in your .bbdb
file.  I am sure the Emacs maintainers would be interested in a very
short test case that doesn't involve installing BBDB, but I know how
difficult it is to determine such a test case.  If you can do it,
perfect, if not...  I don't think upgrading BBDB will help.  You could
try a binary search.  Split your .bbdb in two files, see which one
crashes Emacs.  Then split again, until you find the culprit.
