I cannot confirm this with build 3.0.5.33294 from our Downloads page, in C4D 2024.1.0.
I test with a simple sphere, add default Fur Ball to it, increase the guides length, groom it a bit, add an Arnold skydome light and render with Arnold.
If you get a crash, maybe you have something specific, like maybe you try to apply the hair to some complex mesh? If that's the case we'll need your example scene for testing.
