The interesting thread seems to be Thread 4 but it was truncated too early.

Try running under gdb after setting a breakpoint at CursorSlice.cpp:206
(before the LASSERT line) and take a backtrace when it triggers.

I have no idea why it happens and wonder how many bugs are still lurking
there when instant preview for math is on...

In any case, it would greatly help if you can provide a reproducer.
However, note that this does not seem to be a fatal bug and LyX would
simply continue running when compiled in release mode.
