Let me know if you want more information.
Mike, I obviously haven’t encountered that problem, and ISTM our environments for this purpose should be pretty much identical, at least when you’re using the Xcode compiler. The one possibility that comes to mind is optimization: I’m building with -O0 so that I can easily use the debugger. You can cd to src/libqof/qof and make check; you should get the same crash on test-gnc-timezone if you have google test or on test-qof if you don’t. That will provide a convenient program to run the debugger on to see if you can get some more info. The stack trace looks like the problem is coming from trying to reuse a supposedly freed block, so the real bug is probably somewhere else. Try setting $MallocScribble and see if it will crash where the real bug is.
