i've experienced problems with the recent flext and readanysf~, too ...
not on a mac, but on a linux machine ... 

i did a backtrace with ddd and it seems that flext_root_multi::operator
new() as it's run by readanysf::__init__() runs itself recursively for
(on my setup) 261771 times ... 

i don't fully understand your code, but it seems that in line 6 you try
to run the same function, again without changing the parameter (bytes)
...

void *flext_root::operator new(size_t bytes)
{
  bytes += sizeof(size_t);
    
    char *blk;
    if(bytes >= LARGEALLOC) {
        // use C library function for large memory blocks
        blk = (char *)::operator new(bytes);
    }
    else {
	//! \todo We need system locking here for secondary threads!

#if FLEXT_SYS == FLEXT_SYS_JMAX
    	blk = (char *)::fts_malloc(bytes);
#else
	blk = (char *)::getbytes(bytes);
#endif
    }

	*(size_t *)blk = bytes;
	return blk+sizeof(size_t);
}

i might be wrong (i don't understand the meaning of (char *)::, but that
would explain the behaviour...
