Thank you Paul for all your help.
Adding path to GS in lyx.bat did not solved the problem.
I have this feeling that the problem is somehow related to the postscript
commands inside the figure...
I'm giving up and going back to use version 1.4.1.
Cheers

One other difference I notices is that I have the Ghostscript bin and lib
directories on my system command path, and you don't. You must have them
(as do I) in LyX Tools->Preferences...->Paths->PATH prefix, which LyX
attaches to the command path when it shells out to a script. (In my case,
they end up on the path twice, which is harmless.) I don't suppose that
adding them to your path fixes the bug? (An easy way to try this on a
temporary basis would be to add the line
SET PATH=C:\<path to GS>\bin;C:\<path to GS>\lib;%PATH%
to the lyx.bat file, prior to the start command.)
I have no idea how a couple of environment variables and the length of the
path to the target file can be interacting, other than if they're both
being written to a common buffer somewhere (which is overflowing), and
that seems rather unlikely given that I would be putting more stuff in the
buffer and not seeing the problem.
