LilyPond can't engrave 16 pages of music

[Reggie]

I am trying to understand theoretically why this is failing. It's only 16
pages. I am a minimalist composer so as a test I tried this extreme
situation. But yet I don't quite agree rather that it's that extreme. It's
only 16 pages and LilyPond crashes.

\version "2.19.82"
{
  \time 4/4
  \repeat unfold 1000 { c4 d e f } % TEN PAGES of music
  \repeat unfold 1000 { f1 } % + SIX MORE PAGES of music
  \repeat unfold 1000 { c4 d e f } % BUT WHEN ADDING MORE PAGES, fail NOW
}

wHY?
