This happens all the time when the babel package is used, in  
particular, and typesetting is aborted before completing. Babel  
really needs typesetting to proceed until the very end, whatever the  
error (important or not).

For that reason, it's better to end up typesetting properly by typing  
either S, R, Q, X or E, rather than just launching a new typeset. In  
this way a valid .aux file will be produced before aborting.

See for example <http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/2006- 
November/026365.html>. There are also the commands \scrollmode,  
\nonstopmode and \batchmode, equivalent to pressing S, R and Q,  
respectively, in response to any error message.
