By 'register' I assume you mean 'record'?  Could you tell us the value 
of 'i' when the crash occurs?  If you have a corrupted file, you might 
try compressing the db, since this rewrites the data into a fresh file.  
It should clean up any corrupted pointers in the file.  Then you should 
be able to delete the record.  Also, have you tried deleting the record 
from within EDB?  Does it also crash?
