error message when running ly2dvi

[DEBORAH LOWREY]

Dear Lilypond,

I've been working on the full orchestration of the
Magic Flute. Everything was going great until I got to
the violins. I was adding each instrument to the score
as I went and ran ly2dvi -P after each to help edit,
etc. But now I'm getting the error:

paper output to `MagicFlute.tex'...
writing header field `title' to `MagicFlute.title'...
writing header field `subtitle' to
`MagicFlute.subtitle'...
writing header field `composer' to
`MagicFlute.composer'...
writing header field `instrument' to
`MagicFlute.instrument'...
Signal 127
error: lilypond: command exited with value 65280
Traceback (most recent call last):

I commented out the violins and ran ly2dvi -P again
and everything worked perfect. I tried the violins
again and same error message as above. So I commented
out the violins again and ran but now get the error
message again. Now no matter what I do (including cold
and warm boots, with and without violins) I still get
the message. But I have no problem running other ly
files (that are smaller, but not sure if that is the
problem). I have Windows ME and a Compaq 5838 with a
500Mhz Athlon with 256k ram.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help
