To back up AI prefs, then throw them out. Start Illustrator, quit the app and then restart once again. This appears to have fixed all the crashing, freezes and slow downs. Used it all afternoon without problems."
I had the same experience and email. I followed the instructions and it worked for me - it's been a month and I've not had any crashes. Try following those steps? Maybe they're not tied to a particular user profile and they will work.
My fingers are crossed for you all.
