I am not a developer so can only add that compiling that 'test' file provided 
in that bugzilla did not crash when using current master (2.21.0) - Ubuntu 
16.10 LTS.  Note also that both my 'current master' version and that referenced 
on the bugzilla (2.19.x)  are using 'unstable' versions of LilyPond.

While unstable is 'mostly' OK there are obviously going to be problems.

I suppose the issue here is that the version he  (or she) is using is the most 
current 'unstable' version you can download, this is mainly because we're in 
between getting a stable 2.20 ready and have already moved on to a 2.21. dev 
branch.

Maybe one of the other devs can chime in here but if your user can build from 
the most current git master and see if they get the issue, we may be chasing an 
already-fixed issue.

I have to stand aside here at this point as I have no knowledge to help with 
this question..
