% using a lyric tie generates huge postscript files

\version "2.11.63"  %run on Windows XP 
\paper { ragged-right=##t}

voicea =  \relative c' {  c4 d e f }
lyricsa  = \context Lyrics \lyricmode {  bb cc aa~ee dd  }

\score{ \context Staff <<
        \context Voice    { \voicea  }
        \addlyrics        { \lyricsa }
>>
}

% this creates a .ps file of 49,967,248 bytes!!!!
% the .pdf is more reasonably sized at 108,361 bytes
% the problem stems from use of the lyric tie
