Shot in the dark: buffering output to lyxserver.out? If this was the cause then running "server-get-filename" 100x times will at certain moment output the whole buffer with all answers at once. If -dbg at console does not work the Message pane should be still available, turn on lyxserver, action and perhaps files and check if something interesting appears in the log. Pavel
