I'm sorry I guess it was not Z it was only S:
jeremiahbenham   168   0.0  9.5   794068  99480   ??  S     3:09PM   0:04.41 
/Users/jeremiahbenham/Desktop/Denemo.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/bin/lilypond
 --pdf -o /tmp/DenemoLXkZSN/denemoprintB /tmp/DenemoLXkZSN/denemoprintB.ly

Here is the glib function we are using to call lilypond:
g_spawn_async_with_pipes ()
http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-Spawning-Processes.html#g-spawn-async-with-pipes

I am going to set stderr to NULL and set the flag G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL to 
see if that fixes things.

Thanks,
Jeremiah
