These are unrelated to your issue. I used a feature from recent versions 
of gcc (-fsanitize=address) to track another problem and as a side effect 
it revealed many memory leaks. I fixed some easy ones but many other 
remain.

The one from "analyze rolls" is not among them but limiting the analysis 
depth to 4 instead of 5 decreased its maximum cost by a factor of 21. That 
should be enough to prevent the kind off crash you experienced in 
practical usage.
