Comment #4 on issue 3432 by address@hidden: skylined text alongside a staff  
consumes all memory under Windows
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3432

As noted in issue3383, there was one iteration of the code that ran into  
the "eats-all-memory" symptom on GNU/Linux, and the difference  
between "works" and "explodes" was one condition that was < rather than <=  
or vice versa.  That would indicate one spot that is highly sensitive to  
numeric fluctuations.  It may or may not be the one that fails under  
Windows, but it would at least be a starting point for investigation.

As I am working on a complete reimplementation (which takes its time) due  
to the overall quality of the code, I don't really want to invest time here  
myself, so the fastest measure would likely be a simple revert without  
further investigation.  The problem solved by the patch seems quite less  
urgent than the problem it likely bought us.
