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?

Works here, returning a 25-pages pdf.

Harm,

What are your system specs? I can compile the file on my Linux Mint x64 laptop with 16GB of RAM, rockin' an 8th gen i7 but it took about 10 minutes almost. That seems very very slow.

Did you experience the same wait times?

On Windows 10 x64 it flat out crashed, with a different error code number but the same family of crash I believe...
