I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: in a single
document with multiple images, GS will get stuck on image with the
original lyx.bat file, then process that image correctly but get stuck
on a later one if you comment something out of lyx.bat? (And how far
it gets depends on what you comment out?)
This is what I'm seeing. Why does 1.4.1 work all the time? What changed?
Good question. Another good question is: why only on your machine.
There must be something specific to your setup interacting with
something specific to version 1.4.2.
One more little experiment, if you don't mind, just to confirm symptoms:
if you comment out one of the SET commands in lyx.bat, but replace it
with a line of equal length (SET XXX=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY... with
enough Xs and Ys to match the line you commented out), does the bug move
to a different image (or disappear)?
This reminds me of a bug I ran into in a computer science class back
when mainframes ruled. It made no sense, and was hard to pin down. So
I turned in a heap of line printer output showing what was going on, and
my instructor looked at it and closed the matter by blithely stating
"This can't happen." (Turned out the computer was subtracting
incorrectly in an emulation mode.) So if all else fails, just tell
yourself that "This can't happen" and therefore the display is actually
correct, sensory evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
