This fix, posted in the Vegas Pro forum, also works on Vegas Movie Studio Ver. 9b:

My system is Vista-64 on an i7 processor with 6GB RAM. Vegas MS crashed consistently when trying to render AVCHD files with 5.1 surround sound. After doing this fix it renders fine.
I can't verify if it will also work on 32-bit systems, but the messages in the thread suggest that it will. Here's hoping Sony will incorporate this fix into the next release of Vegas MS (and all the other versions too.)
