Can't reproduce that. Can you have a go with the debugger?
I can.
Using:
LyX 1.3.0cvs of Fri, May 3, 2002
Built on Nov 26 2002, 14:35:58
Configuration
Host type: i386-unknown-freebsd4.6
Special build flags: warnings assertions xforms-image-loader
C Compiler: gcc
C Compiler flags: -g -O2
C++ Compiler: g++ (2.95.3)
C++ Compiler flags: -g -O -Wno-non-template-friend -ftemplate-depth-30 -W -Wall
Linker flags:
Frontend: xforms
libXpm version: 4.11
libforms version: 1.0.0
LyX binary dir: /opt/bin
LyX files dir: /opt/share/lyx
When doing "File->New, File->Save, click [OK]" in exactly that order,
I get with gdb the following:

Is that helpful? Doesn't look so. Is LyX misusing some libs from libstdc++ or libc or what?
Few more details:
1) LyX makes a correct emergency LyX file, when aborting. So the emergency mechanism still
works with this crash.
2) When LyX does the emergency save (it does that when you type something inbetween the File->New
and File->Save), then the crash goes into a hang; it does not quit. A "kill -9 [process-id]" is
needed to stop it!
Without an emergency save, the crash at least quits nicely, without needing a kill -9 !
Does that give a clue?
Cheers,
Rob.
Darren, I vaguely seem to remember that you are also running on FreeBSD. Is that so?
Would that make this a typical FreeBSD thing, if Andre and others do not see this?
