I wouldn't be surprised if some of the warnings from gcc and/or
clang and/or valgrind point to such a problem.  Of course,
actually cleaning up all those warnings in all those programs
could take anywhere from 10 to 100 hours -- such a task is likely
to involve a lot of plumbing in the dark and wishfully-forgotten
parts of lilypond (notably stuff in flower/ ).  It would be great
if somebody wanted to undertake such archeology, though.
