Please, can you reproduce the crash?

If yes, can you try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and on http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/Details.
(install packages 'pptp-linux-dbgsym' and 'gdb' and see here for backtrace https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace)

Marked as incomplete until we have a backtrace.

See also bug #656560 that I just filed - it may be the same problem and I got an apport trace to match.
