I am not at all familiar with the nomencl package, so I cannot say 
wether you used it in the way it's meant to be used (I took a short 
glance at the nomencl.pdf, but did not study it in detail ...).

So I just took your example and ran it
     [ latex -> latex -> makeindex -> latex -> dvips ]

No problems at all; but it just produced one page with the one
equation E=mc^2 (as expected), but no extra printed nomenclature 
appeared - that's not what you wanted, right?

So that's not much help, except to say that your makeindex souldn't
have crashed ...

sorry.
