It's a build failure -- make just stops at that point.

Reinhold made a change to convert-ly as the last change in the stack
before I pulled this morning (my time), to add an exception for a
malformed version string. But he used a Python 3.0 feature, which my
patch fixes:
commit 55ee5f274895295ae79d555d6dcc9ab84ecf270e
Author: Reinhold Kainhofer <reinh...@kainhofer.com>
Date: Thu Dec 31 12:20:41 2009 +0100
convert-ly: Raise an error message if version number is not a
three-entry tuple
This fixes crashes with things like
\version "2.10"
or
\version "2.10.4.3.21"
and instead gracefully reminds the user that version strings should have a
form like `2.8.12'
