  1. a true crash (i.e. R closes), if you have not been messing around
with C/Fortran interfaces yourself, is by definition a bug.
  2. In this case it is (almost certainly) a bug in the ergm package:
contact the maintainer (maintainer("ergm")).
  3. We, and they, are unlikely to be able to help without a reproducible
example.
