Fwd: Re: error message when running ly2dvi

[DEBORAH LOWREY]

Dear Lilypond,

I was previously using 1.4.12.jcn5 and upgraded to the
experimental 1.5.60.jcn1. But I am still having the
same problems (see inline text attached and error
messages below). 
So I decided to test out Coriolan which I was using as
a working template for my Magic Flute (Ouverture) full
score. I am getting the following messages (with both
mine and Coriolan):

First I get a windows box error message:
     Lilypond has caused an error in CYGWIN1.DLL.
     Lilypond will now close.
     If you continue to experience problems,
     try restarting your computer.

I've tried warm and cold boots, but same error. After
I hit the window error close button, I get the
following error now:

I used convert-ly first on Coriolan and removed the
";" in the header because they were causing fatal
errors, but everything else was as converted and
looked fine on visual inspection.
The only real difference between the Magic Flute and
the Coriolan was the raw data of notes.
I have Windows ME on a Compaq 5838 500Mhz Athlon with
lots of hard drive space.
Additional information from previous email below...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Deborah
