Known issue, but more info is helpful. Does it crash immediately on alt-tab or does it take a while before it occurs? Also, you're hardware specs would help in tracking down the issue.
Personally, I run NS2 in windowed mode using <a href="http://grismar.net/shiftwindow/" target="_blank">shiftwindow</a> to get rid of the border and I don't crash on alt-tab.

sometimes it's immediately, sometimes it happens only when I alt tab and then wait 5 minutes then try to tab back into the game. I can hear the sounds in the game as it starts to re-load, and then it crashes with the not responding generic message in win7
