Line the inside of the tart with aluminum foil, buttered (or otherwise greased) on the side that will contact the dough. The foil will support the vertical portions of the dough when it is hot but not yet baked. This slump-prone stage will happen no matter how long you chill the shell. I roll the shell out from dough as cold as I can handle and then re-chill it in the pan for 10 min or so, but this is to promote maximum flakiness.
