I can reproduce the crash which is with the openfoam5, version "0-1" package for Ubuntu 16.04:
https://openfoam.org/download/5-0-ubuntu/

I think the crash is caused by the same issue reported here:
https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2663

This issue was resolved on 15 August 2017:
https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-5.x/commit/2d41f24

The openfoam5 pack for Ubuntu was patched on 30 October 2017, so includes this fix; pack version is "20171030"
https://openfoam.org/news/v5-0-patch/

The Ubuntu version (on AWS / CFD Direct from the cloud, or anywhere else) can be updated by entering the following in the terminal (ignore titles with #)

# Add repository and key
sudo add-apt-repository http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu
sudo sh -c "wget -O - http://dl.openfoam.org/gpg.key | apt-key add -"

# Update and upgrade the package
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade openfoam5

# Check the update package is installed
apt-cache policy openfoam5
