Are you using Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid? Do any other applications (like editors) crash when trying to display the file?
If so, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488015 and its duplicates: you probably need to update the libpango packages to 1.20.4-1.

I'm using the same buildid Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0, and I don't see this crash.
This problem could be from an extension, or out of date libraries as Aleksej suggested. You will likely get an answer faster at http://support.mozilla.com - see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting for a good starting place there, and work from there. If it still turns out to be a bug after troubleshooting, then you can come back here and we'll reopen your bug.

I tried again today and no crash. Grrrrr. I yesterday I restarted the browser and all and yet it still caused a crash; but today, nothing. I use no extensions. I thought maybe it was flash running in another tab that might have caused it but nope. Now I have no idea what it might have been.
