I guess I solved the problem:
I started thinking about why a locale would ever be needed - and all i
could think of were strings and formatting. So I started fooling
around with those... and the problem went away by using the
userDefault differently: using a number (and %d) instead of a string
(%@) the crashes went away....
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%...@?act=upd&lu=
%@",WS_URL,[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
objectForKey:@"lastDbUpdate"]];
became
UInt lastupdate = [userDefaults integerForKey:@"lastDBUpdate"];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%...@?act=upd&lu=
%d",WS_URL,lastUpdated];
with lastUpdated now coming out of userDefaults as an int, and no
longer as a string.
i still have no idea why that solved the problem - my hunch would be
the string parsing in the NSURLConnection - as both strings should be
quite equal, no?

Locale information is often taken from environment variables. Print
the environment, compare it to when it doesn't crash, and check any
differences.
Next, try running your code when logged in under a new user
account. If it consistently works there, you may have a setting or
a haxie of some kind in your original account that's breaking the
code. If it fails on the new user account, it could still be a
haxie or similar, but installed at the system-wide level, typically
in /Library/.
Finally, you first wrote "very similar to what's in aaron hillegass'
book". Have you tried the original code exactly as given in the
book? Did it also fail, or did it work? If it also fails, that
suggests something about your user account, environment, machine,
configuration etc. If the original works, though, it suggests you've
added a bug, so double-check every addition or deletion you made.
