I'm having difficulty compiling the latest version of Lilypond ... most 
likely a snag in my GCC installation. I played with GCC version 3.1 a 
while back and this sometimes comes back to haunt me.

In any case, I don't have time at the moment to do battle with this, so 
I'm submitting the patch untested. I hope someone who is currently using 
Lilypond will be able to test it for me.
