When I read that message, the log had already been overwritten by next
Patchy run, but from the timestamps it might well be a crash of LilyPond
in doc build caused by some hardware memory inconsistency: this month
Grenouille have encountered at least two GCC segfaults, one or two
segfaults, some weird typechecking error, an almost uncountable number
of "parsed objects should be dead" warnings... I'll see with Mike and
the MSH admin what we can do, I hope we can find a solution without
buying much or any hardware (making Grenouille run with only one of the
two 1 GB RAM devices, getting in donation a second-hand but well-running
computer suitable as a server possibly putting just a new hard disk on
it...), as I think LilyPond users and developers would preferably spend
money in funding development by humans.

Best,
John
