How is Aryeh being unwilling here? He's pointed out what the DoS vector is
(unlimited resource usage for evil input), and said to ask if anything needed
clarification. The seriousness of the possibility of unlimited resource usage
and the ease with which an attacker could craft input triggering that (by
trying on their local LilyPond install first) seems to be pretty much proven to
me.

If you believe the DoS issue is no longer an issue (you seem to be suggesting
this), please tell us (mentioning what was done to fix it, of course).
