Ugh. Well, I've sort of solved my problem. Is this a known bug? Is
there a patch I should apply?
Putting (or symlinking at least) the bib file into the current directory:
(a) allows it to be found and parsed for entries
(b) prevents lyx from hanging
Is LyX supposed to search through the directories specified by BIBINPUTS?
Or is that a flawed assumption on my part?
