Comment (by wildintellect):

 I can verify this issue on Intrepid 32bit, and believe it revolves around
 dbf field types.
 When you try to run the classify function on a column N,19 qgis crashes
 columns of type N,9 works fine. (As reported via OpenOffice)

 Looking at
 [http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/data_types.html dbf
 documentation] N field should be less than 18 chars, which makes me think
 the fields are being misidentified and should be floating point, F.

 Applies to polygon layer symbology
 * Graduated Symbol or
 * continuous on a polygon
