hmmm... that sucks :(  When lame kept crashing on me I:

used gcc 2.95 instead of 3.xx
switched to lame version > 3.92
used jumpers on the motherboard to set the speed of the cpu/bus instead
of using bios.  I think the bios settings were slightly overclocking
the cpu/bus.

I don't know if any of those will help you but I thought I'd mention it.
