New issue 2356 by address@hidden: Lilypond segfaults
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2356

There have been 2 reports of lilypond segfaulting on complex scores.  Jay  
Anderson's report is here:  
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2011-12/msg01167.html and Hu  
Haipeng's is here:  
http://old.nabble.com/problem-still-exists-in-the-latest-2.15-version-td33382315.html

Haipeng's complex score crashes LilyPond on my Vista 64-bit machine after  
18 seconds compilation time, using about 350Megs memory, which is nowhere  
near the machine limit.

Neil suggested adding

\context {
   \GrandStaff
   \remove "Span_bar_stub_engraver"
}

to the score's layout block, but that does not fix the crash.

Haipeng says this does not crash on a previous version of Lilypond, but I  
can't check this because of new syntax in the version provided.
