I'm getting a bit further with bug 14267: On OSX I am NOT seeing it with R-devel, although it is there with 2.11.0 Patched.
Running with a non-optimized compile, I can get some more information
It is happening on the i-th iteration of the loop in do_formatPOSIXlt with
(gdb) p i $4 = 86870
Unfortunately, it looks like a bigger exercise to get valgrind running on Snow Leopard -- too big for Friday afternoon anyway. However, the alloca() call on line 774 of src/main/datetime.c does look suspect to me. I can see that it was introduced with r51353 and has since disappeared in R-devel (r51398).
So it does seems as if this is all related to that bug, which somehow got fixed in R-devel. Thanks everyone,
