Dear Gunter,
You have given me a guide as to the possible error.
Providing a minimum example is difficult as there is no error report
provided, so the problem could be anywhere. and I am not aware of
any non-standard settings. This document is a User Manual with
many images and hyperlinks.
So, my next step will be to isolate the fault, using the old slow method
of halving, testing, then halving again etc., and hoping I can see it in
the source pane. Will report progress.
Many thanks,
Gordon.

Have added the Change bar module (Document>Settings>) to couple of

The result is erratic. A few times lyx has produced a pdf with the desired
bars, but usually it appears to go into an internal loop, then crashes after
abou20-30 minutes. If I remove the Change Bar module, then pdf copies
produced by exporting to pdflatex, are generated in a few minutes.
Add the Change bar module and the crashes return.
This looks very much like an incompatibility between the change bar latex
package and some of the other settings/packages you use.
Could you please send a *minimal example* (take a failing document and
remove every non-standard setting and every content that does not trigger
the error).
Have read through everything that seemed related in the User List
Archive, but no clues found.
Another good search point is the LyX bug tracker
https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
but in this case the only "change bar ticket" is not relevant.
Sometimes also trackexchange or a generic internet search helps.
