I have a human Druid with convincing mental stats and would like to dual as a mage. Having sufficient stats i dual classed and picked mage, which the game allows. But, alas, when i pick the skills the game crashes. Is this a bug or what???

I've never heard of this problem, if it persists you could try using the shadowkeeper to configure your dual char.

Have you tried to patch the game with the international or US patch?
read that it was supposed to dela with dual class and multiclass problems that occured..

erm... this sure is a bug, a druid can't dual class as a mage, the game should not allow you to.

Well, I was lucky when my character class changed, but yes, it has to be a bug. I created a Ranger/Thief and found out that nobody else could. I think that it will do this when there is a memory problem. My computer was a Pentium Pro 233 with 48 megs of Ram. I hadn't installed any patches either. Best to play with legal classes as they won't crash as often.
