Glad to be able to help!

Maybe I'm just lucky to be able to run an unsupported configuration
like I did. What versions of compiler and kernel are you running? I
wasn't able to get ASan to work with R not compiled for it on an older
system (Debian 9), but my advice does seem to work on newer systems
(Debian 10, 11).

Compiling R from source with -fsanitize=address set in compiler options
or running R with ASan using Docker should have a higher likelihood of
working than my manual approach.
