It's definitely not a problem with your input, so thanks for your
report.  Unfortunately, I don't have a mac, so I can't really track
this down. You will have to help a bit: can you run lilypond (the
binary, not ly2dvi) in gdb, and send a stacktrace?  Ie.,

verify that

  lilypond test.ly

also crashes, and then run

  gdb /usr/bin/lilypond
  r test.ly
  <.. crash ..>
  bt
