Do you forget a \end{document}. Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem – Marco Daniel Apr 17 '12 at 11:36
You need to tell us more for us being able to help you. If the document is large, you obviously can't post it here but maybe you can provide a link? What packages are you using? Have you tried trimming it down to isolate the problem? – Christian Lindig Apr 17 '12 at 11:38

The message is from the aux-file. Beside other it contains instructions of code which should be written to the toc: e.g. \@writefile{toc}{\contentsline {section}{abc}{1}} Probably you have added something fragile to one of your titles and now latex chokes on the content in the aux-file. Open the aux-file to find the culprit, correct your code and then delete the broken aux-file. – Ulrike Fischer Apr 17 '12 at 12:14
