I thought I'd just post this which might help anyone with similar problems.
I have had problems with simple mesh as well as adaptive once a modifier is added.
However, Vray seems to be a bit more forgiving over this crash except...
Motion blur is a problem.
Vray (3D) motion blur crashes, as does a render effect IMB.
What's strange is that even writing out an RPF with velocity channels crashes VRay.
If you need motion blur (likely), I would suggest the re-vision motion blur plugin, though I'm not sure how well it would track motion on something like an ocean.
Alternatively, camera motion blur works fine, but you've obviously got the speed penalty. However it may get someone out of a hole.
BTW One of the plus points of using Vray is that you can use the displacement modifier if you need specific extra detail on the mesh.
Cheers
