Do you have a small example where this happens?
It should be easy to fix.
I cannot reproduce the infinite "hanging" yet with a small example, but I can reproduce an abort with error, so I'll leave the hang for later -- please note again, this is *not* win-specific, I also tried importing it on linux. Consider this latex doc:
\documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{p{1.75cm}|c|p{0.75cm}|p{2cm}|p{3cm}|p{1.5cm}|p{1.5cm}} & & & eigenvalue & & & \\ \hline \multicolumn{6}{l}{log} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}
This compiles without errors in latex.
I run relyx on it, that reports "finished successfully!" and I get the following lyx document (I've tried not to change line spacing etc.):
<snip> # The reLyX bundled with LyX 1.3 created this file. # For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat 2.15 \textclass article \use_natbib 0 \use_numerical_citations 0

along with this .relyx1 file, if it matters at all:
<snip> \documentclass{article} </snip>
Then I run lyx2lyx on it, and it reports "Malformed lyx file" and aborts without output.
Is it multicolumn alone or do the column widths have anything to do?
