It's easy to find out -- remove that image and see if the problem goes
away.  If it does, you have found the problem.

I have found that Scribus will crash if you're using bad graphics (which
can sometimes be fixed by loading the graphic into Gimp and re-saving
it) or bad fonts (the $1.95 for 1500 fonts CD's that you find for sale
in junk shops).

I suspect you have either a bad font or a bad graphic.  The way to find
out which is to remove the elements one at a time until the problem goes
away.
