with version 2.17.21 the code:

produces:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  St9bad_alloc

writing abc or other text is fine
using apostrophes or \markup doesn't help
older versions work fine
in issue 3106 a similar message is displayed

Ralph confirmed the behavior on Windows 7.

On a current system compiled from master using g++ 4.7.3, I see no problem and get the attached image.  So again, this seems to be the problem afflicting our Windows compilation.  Probably the same as issue 3432.

Now so far we've only seen it with 2.17.21 and never before.  Maybe something went wrong with the build process?

It's not always obvious whether the build process works properly - see Issue 3319, for example.  However, there's no doubt in my mind that the build progressed fairly normally - we don't have an issue over version number, this is definitely a new build, etc.  I agree it's likely the same as issue 3432.
