This makes me wonder if Spotlight is responsible.

Can you try running `sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/*` at the command-line  
and seeing if the problem persists?

If that command gives an error then you'll need to use `for foo in / 
Volumes/* ; do sudo mdutil -E $foo ; done`

I don't find this sentence clear. I think you're saying AddressBook  
always crashes when you SEARCH for "Joe Someperson", but it's no  
problem if you just go to that addressbook entry manually?
