I suspect this being fixed a long time ago, but I may be wrong. gedit 
2.6.2 is almost two years old and a good deal of fixes went in in the 
mean time... However a backtrace of the crash would be helpful (see 
http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces).

I understand that upgrading to a newer gedit may be painful since it 
pulls many other dependencies on newer gnome components, however maybe 
you can try to upgrade to gtksourceview 1.4.2 which should not require 
any further packages and see if the crash goes away.
