[OS X TeX] What happens to Myfile.aux?

[Bruno Voisin]

In my experience, it sometimes happens that when LaTeX encounters an 
error and you don't force it to carry typesetting to the end (for 
example if you go back to the editing window, correct the error and 
typeset again), or if you don't interrupt typesetting yourself by typing 
"x" at the bottom of the console window then hitting the return key, 
then incorrect or incomplete data is written to the .aux file and this 
creates a LaTeX error next time your document is typeset.

If you use the babel package, then the error during this second 
compilation is even worse.

In my experience, if this happens to you, just delete the .aux file and 
typeset again, or enforce typesetting to go until the end by typing "s" 
(for scrollmode) at the bottom of the console window then hitting the 
return key.
