Re: silent crash on large score - how to debug?

[James Lowe]

I am running this for you on my Win7 machine. I have about 1GB 'spare' 
(2GB internal but it is used quite heavily with our own work tools).

After about 30 minutes Win7 pops up the message attached and the system 
event logs shows

'Faulting application name: lilypond-windows.exe, version: 2.13.10.1, 
time stamp: 0x4b3db2ca
Faulting module name: libguile-17.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 
0x4b3db2ca
Exception code: 0xc00000fd'

(note I am using 2.13.10.1 not 2.12.3)

However it maybe that your own system event logs shows a DR watson (or 
whatever XP did) and that there is a *user.dmp* or user.hdmp (I forget 
which) file that might be generated from the crash. There is usually 
something even if it is 'silent'.

I might be able to try with 2.12.10.1 or whatever the lastest 2.12 is, 
but cannot guarantee when.

I do hope this is useful.
