No, actually it looks like this is something upstream in stringi.

It looks like what actually happened here is that the GCC version in the runner image has gone from 14 to 15. This causes stringi to use it's own bundled ICU instead of relying on the on system ICU:

Another confirmation: I re-ran the sanitizer on the last commit that passed and it failed in the same way https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/actions/runs/23405151040/job/68082741132

I suspect the easiest thing to do is for us to just disable these tests on the sanitizer for now and see if there's something the stringi maintainer can do.
