> I'm not top posting. While typesetting a large project, I accidentally included in my "utilities" file a file that included those same utilities, which resulted in Lilypond quickly eating up all my memory. Distilled to the bare minimum, this is what triggers this bug:
****************************** % In file Test.ly: % WARNING: DO NOT COMPILE \version "2.13.60" \include "Test2.ly" % End file Test.ly ****************************** % In file Test2.ly: % WARNING: DO NOT COMPILE \version "2.13.60" \include "Test.ly" % End file Test2.ly ****************************** I admit that to a certain extent it is the user's responsibility to check for these sorts of failings, but in the interest of safety there should be a check for mutual/cyclical includes. For example, GCC refuses to process includes deeper than I believe 127 levels (An example of setting a hard limit), and another way to do this would be to build a dependency graph and test whether it is acyclic or not.
