The fact that lilypond code appears in the stack trace just means that some lily code triggered the collection. It could be that only Jay's test case created garbage in the right pattern to trigger garbage collection just there. The only times I've successfully used valgrind to find a bug in lilypond has been with a lilypond function at the top of the stack trace. Cheers, Joe
