This is actually a good test case, as I translated this orc from a
Csound orch (it's a composition by Peter Child, thus "PC"). I'll dig
up the Csound orch/sco and someone can test it on the same platform
as sfront. It's a straight port and should be a pretty fair test.

From the ensuing discussion, this sounds like a bad MIDI file, since it
fails in both sfront and saolc (they have separate code for everything).
I'll check it out today or tomorrow.

Best,
