I've just run the mingw binary from 15th Aug under gdb. After entering
two or three notes it crashed in the draw routine.
The where command showed that cairo was deleting a context when a memory
allocation error occurred.
It had started up just fine, LilyPond had been run to typeset the
(empty) score.
I tried leaving it running for 5 minutes or so after startup and it
didn't crash (even though the draw routine is being run in order to
flash the denemo cursor).
Then I entered 4 notes and it crashed.
Repeating this half-a-dozen times it always crashed after 4 to 6 notes
entered, and the crash was always in a cairo routine called by the
scorearea_draw(). It was nearly always at a different routine in the
system libraries that cairo calls.
