There are four bugs marked as critical regressions, see:

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/search/?q=%28_type%3ACritical+OR+labels%3ARegression%29+AND+%28status%3ANew+OR+status%3AAccepted+OR+status%3AStarted%29

It seems the sources of these bugs have been traced to patches submitted by 
devs who are no longer active:

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4807/

Keith O'Hara

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4751/

John Gourlay

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4182/

Janek Warchol

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/3778/

Mike Solomon

The patches are all large and quite far-reaching, so reversion is not an 
option.  Debugging has been attempted and (so far) abandoned.  So it is not 
clear what should be done.

Discuss.
