I have now reverted the filter_pipe function to use the deprecated
os.popen3
again. However, if we ever resolve the subprocess/msvcrt issue in
Windows, we
should replace all those deprecated functions by the proper "new"
functions....
Thanks Reinhold. I confirm the revert has fixed this problem.
It doesn't show in 2.13.31.
However, I'm now back to my original problem first reported
in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-07/msg00063.html
Could someone else on Windows please check they see
this problem too. If so, I'll see if I can narrow it
down to a specific release.

I've never tried the book functions, but can tell you what the problem is.
Your report says:
snippet-map--1679029745.ly:4:57: illegal character in escape sequence: #\U
Line 4 in the snippet map is
#(ly:add-file-name-alist '(("3e/lily-0cba8859.ly" .
"C:\Users\Trevor\LilyPond-git\Documentation\music-glossary.tely")
so it honks on the \ after C:\.
There's a straight quote of the filename, which in windows uses a backslash:
\ (in Unix, I think the directory separator is a forward slash: /).
Backslash is also used to denote a control character, so \n is a newline,
for example. So the interpreter is trying to view \U as a control
character, which is not, so it barfs. The normal fix is to make each
backslash a double: C:\\Users\\Trevor etc. Dunno if this is helpful, but
that's what I think is happening.
