Best I can tell is that your stack is too small. There have
been posts on this in the past. I'm not sure why apple set
the default to 512 kbytes. 

Try setting your stacksize as shown below and re-running.

jdf@localhost (ttyp1) 167 /Users/jdf % limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        6144 kbytes
stacksize       512 kbytes
coredumpsize    0 kbytes
memoryuse       unlimited
descriptors     256 
memorylocked    unlimited
maxproc         100 
jdf@localhost (ttyp1) 168 /Users/jdf % limit stacksize
stacksize       512 kbytes
jdf@localhost (ttyp1) 169 /Users/jdf % limit stacksize 65536
jdf@localhost (ttyp1) 170 /Users/jdf % limit stacksize 
stacksize       65536 kbytes
