My setup is as follows:

Org-mode version 7.8.08 (release_7.8.03.594.g013d.dirty)
GNU Emacs 24.0.94.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36)
 of 2012-02-28 on bob.porkrind.org

... and Emacs never crashes - never ever!

I don't use Sweave.

 - can you isolate what you do most use in your .emacs (easy if it's written in
 Org-babel).  
 - Revert to 7.7. ~ test 
 - Revert to 24.0.94.1 (macforosx binary build) ~ test

I use it all the time (mostly Emacs but in and out of Org and Babel constantly) and
 it's solid, so it's probably your configuration.

Best, Martyn
