I'll ask again, what is your shell's stack size?
Default on Mac is about 06% of what XEmacs needs, and the errors you
reported mirror those others have seen running with less than an 8MB
stack.
The problem has been somewhat fixed in 21.5.12 (current beta) by changing
the stack intensive regex sections to use malloc. The fact that OroborOSX
is now failing also makes it look like the stack error. Since they are often
easily hidden from one environment to the next.
Do the errors occur in font-locked buffers more often than in others?
