I just got back from a fast downhill run off of Cottonwood Pass. I took the turns pretty fast. About half way down. I was smelling brakes. I thought it was the flat lander I was following that was riding his brakes. I used mine sparingly, and used the OD off button most of the time. When I got home, the drives side rear rotor was cherry red. I freaked and put a house fan on it till it was cool. I backed it out of the driveway and it rolled freewheeling down our driveway. No dragging brakes. WTF!!! Did the stupid yaw sensors in the ESP make my brakes overheat?

Good chance. Once when I was towing a VW van with a tow bar I had to shut off the ESP to not have it drive me nuts with over correction, when I was towing on hilly twisty back roads. After I got to the straight shot roads, ESP was OK.
Spinning your rear wheels will also trash the rear pads, now I use 4 X4 in the winter when the road is slick.
You may want to shut the ESP off when you are doing off road stuff.

It wasn't off road. It was all highway but it was the twisties style turns. A lot of snap right, then back left stuff going 50 mph. I just road tested it 20 miles at 65 mph on a straightaway, and got out and all is fine. No heat at all. Stupid ESP I suppose. I'll keep an eye on it for a few days.

No idea I have driven my CRD on the Nuerburgring and several auto-X events with the ESP only coming on when I was spinning the rear tires. It will 4 wheel drift to a point before the ESP would kick in. Maybe your steering input needs to be a little bit smoother and the ESP will not detect the jerkyness as loss of traction. No busting on you driving style just offering a suggestion.

No offense taken. I wasn't being smooth with my turns and there was 950# of passengers in there so body lean was a factor. 200 miles later and no sign of the brake heat returning.
