I can confirm the crash on Win 64 bit with the snapshot from Dec 8th.

At first sight your code looks perfectly normal, and in any case a
program crash is never really the user's fault.
Absolutely. And it's most unlikely that your computer is at fault.
However, I ran this code on 64-bit Linux under valgrind: no crash, and
no complaints from valgrind about memory management.
I suspect this may be a bug in openblas for 64-bit Windows (that's the
3rd party optimized BLAS/Lapack library that we use for things like
eigensym). I'll see what I can find out.
Ioannis, can you tell us exactly what kind of processor this computer
has? (Openblas contains several different processor-specific kernels,
so this may be useful information.)
