That's a line I added in PMX 2.6+ specifically to work with MusiXTeX 1.15. It fails with earlier versions of musixtex. I assume by "killing" your compilation you mean that when you remove the line from the TeX file it then works OK. That behavior is consistent with not having properly upgraded to MusiXTeX 1.15. Please check your system to be sure there aren't any stray, older copies of musixtex.tex lurking somewhere higher up in the TeX search path, including your working directory. If that doesn't do it, please report back.
