If lilypond segfaults, that's a serious bug.  Would you like to build
lilypond 1.3.119 with debugging info (-g), and send a stacktrace from gdb?

As you mention unstable, it should be noted that there are
incompatibilities involving the transition to glibc-2.2 and the c++
libraries.  I know there have been conflicts in unstable during the
last weeks, I don't know if they're resolved; maybe you should
upgrade.  I assume that you're using i386; the version of g++ that
debian ships for powerpc (the same as for i386, urg), has real ugly
problems for powerpc.  Since I've switched to debian-ppc, I've had to
build my own compiler and libraries.

Greetings,
Jan.
