Does emacs crash or does gnus simply report some error?
That looks like a regexp bug I reported here and to RMS a while back.
It turns out that in some cases (hairy regexps of certain sorts?), the
regexp matching code requires an amount of temporary space based on
the size of the buffer-portion it's trying to match against -- such as
the entire "to:" field. Try cutting down the "to:" field
significantly and see if gnus can handle it then.
