I suspect that this is caused by a bug that I and others have reported
on this mailing list, where osis2mod loops infinitely (or at least for a
very long time) when a bible book has more chapters than it ought to
have accordding to the versification.

maybe this could be adjusted to warn if the bible has more chapters than
the versification allows?  Or to prevent this situation as much as
possible?
