Not good.  Could you perhaps run it under gdb, get a backtrace once it
crashes again and send it to emacs-pretest-bug by using `M-x
report-emacs-bug RET'?  There are some hints on debugging in the file
etc/DEBUG to be found in the Emacs sources.

I doubt the crash is related to Emacs not finding AUCTeX libraries.
How did you install AUCTeX and (let me ask this again) how are you
activating or loading it?  Which version of AUCTeX are we talking
about?
