There's a bug in texinfo 4.7 (and perhaps 4.8), wherein finished nodes 
didn't close files until the whole build was done.  Since lilypond uses 
a lot of nodes, we used to run into this problem on OSX.  I'm not 
certain if this bug is fixed in the version of texinfo that's in fink 
for 10.3.9.

I'm still not able to make web, so I'm not certain that changing ulimit 
-n actually did any good for me... but it eliminates one possible 
problem.  :)
