It seems your system is low on memory. Did you set a limit on memory usage?

You might run lilypond under control of gdb, set a breakpoint at the start of ly_run_command() and inspect memory usage when the breakpoint is reached.

Or temporarily replace "gs" with a script that ignores the arguments and executes a tool that allows you  to inspect the amount of free memory.

Try to increase the amount of available memory by adding some more GB of swap.

Thanks for the hints – in fact the lack of swap was the problem.

Best, Simon
