I also tried this with Lilypond 2.13.11 on my Windows 7 (x64) Machine. 
After a while I got a similar popup but with the option to debug (since 
I have VS2008 installed).

The exception cause was "stack overflow". The debugger shows a call 
stack with 1000 levels. But there missing some at least, since the entry 
point is not shown.

The stack dumps shows looks at the first view like a kind of recursion. 
There are six levels shown again and again:
        lilypond.exe!00506b70()         
        libguile-17.dll!6bfa87ab()      
        libguile-17.dll!6bfa838b()      
        libguile-17.dll!6bfa83f0()      
        libguile-17.dll!6bfa87ab()      
        libguile-17.dll!6bfa838b()      
        ...
But some levels further the pattern differs a bit. Unfortunately neither 
a map file nor VS2008 compatible debug is available here. So I cant 
speculate further with this tool.

But the huge number of stack levels may point to a recursion in your 
Scheme code. Are any frogs out there that can read this code?
