Tool: gdb

Be sure to have a non-stripped LyX compiled with -g.

Run:
gdb lyx
# run

and upong segfault:
create a backtrace with "bt"
move up in the stack with "up"
print out interesting variables with "p" (you might need to look in
the sources to get the names of the variables.)

If you can find a case where the bug is reproducable(?) that is best.

Post all results on lyx-devel
