Here are some bugs with lilypond-1.0.2.
With the command mi2mu WABASHCB.mid, a file WABASHBC.mid.ly is produced.
Running ly2dvi on WABASHCB.mid.ly gives the following:
----------------------------
/usr/local/bin/ly2dvi: : Ambiguous redirect
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1)
LaTeX2e <1996/06/01>
Hyphenation patterns for english, loaded.
! Emergency stop.
<*> \nonstopmode \input
No pages of output.

------------------------------
On the other hand, if mi2mu -o WABASHCB.ly WABASHCB.mid is used and
the command ly2dvi WABASHCB.ly is given, output is produced (and pretty
good too!).
I tried this with a number of files with the same result.
I have observed the following error in previous versions:
------------------------------------------
eppes:~/TESTING/LILYPOND> mi2mu -o alaurie.ly alaurie.mid

It happens with another file as well.
The following is also previously observed:
